Two other fires are burning inside the same view. Sheep Fire started on Saturday 10 October, 1.3 miles south-east, and has reached 0 acres. Gimlet Fire started on Saturday 22 August, 14.7 miles west, and has reached 1 acres. 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 three times so far. The thickest of it was moderate between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 192 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.
