Two other fires are burning inside the same view. McCowan Road Mutual Aid Fire started on Thursday 6 August, 3.4 miles west, and has reached 15 acres. Whiskey Creek Fire started 169 minutes before this one, 1.9 miles south, and has reached 120 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 moderate between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 17 hours ago, so what is overhead now is not known.

Where the heat is

No cluster large enough to call a separate front. The heat is in one piece.

Conditions measured 18.4 miles from the fire: 42°F, air at 62% humidity, a 3 mph wind out of the west.

How it got here

Two days of record on a day-17 fire

The record here begins at 1:49pm on 28 Sep and runs to 4:14pm on 2 Oct — 98 hours, 8 readings of heat. The fire is on day 17, so the first 15 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.
