is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Three other fires are burning inside the same view. Rocky Fire started on Wednesday 26 August, 4.7 miles north, and has reached 0 acres. Crestwood 2 Fire started on Saturday 3 October, 9.5 miles north-west, and has reached an unrecorded size. Lost Fire started on Sunday 22 March, 10.8 miles north, and has reached 0 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 seven times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 5:00am and 8:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 161 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.

How the record has moved

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.
