Three other fires are burning inside the same view. Moon Canyon Fire started on Monday 7 September, 5.6 miles south, and has reached 0 acres. Cone Fire started on Monday 28 September, 7.5 miles south, and has reached 0 acres. Middle Ridge Fire started 20 minutes before this one, 11.2 miles south, and has reached 138 acres with 52 people assigned. Their heat is counted against them, not against this fire, and the pale rings on the map mark where they are recorded.
Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground two times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 17 hours ago, so what is overhead now is not known.
No satellite heat has been attributed to this fire yet — either it is too new for a pass to have caught it, or it is too small to register from orbit. Everything above is from the interagency incident record and updates as that record does.
Each step is a change on the interagency incident record — acreage, containment or crews — with the date it was reported. No satellite reading is involved.
