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 14 times so far. The thickest of it was moderate between 6:00am and 9:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 24 hours ago, so what is overhead now is not known.
Where the heat is

How it got here
One day of record on a day-7 fire
The record here begins at 3:15am on 22 Aug and runs to 3:15am on 22 Aug — 0 hours, 1 readings of heat. The fire is on day 7, so the first 6 days are missing: nothing showed up from above until the fire was large enough and the sky over it clear enough for it to be seen. There is no long arc to draw yet. What follows is what has actually happened.
