is the official point of origin on the interagency record.
Conditions measured 0.9 miles from the fire: 69°F, air at 17% humidity, a 2 mph wind out of the south-west.
Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Cyrus Fire started on Friday 9 October, 4.1 miles east, and has reached 543 acres with 12 people assigned. Yankee Fire started on Thursday 30 April, 4.8 miles south-east, and has reached 0 acres. Auxiliary Fire started on Wednesday 5 August, 4.9 miles south, and has reached 0 acres. Hogye Fire started on Tuesday 6 October, 5.9 miles south, and has reached 1 acres. River Fire started on Friday 28 August, 8.4 miles south, and has reached 0 acres. Tice Fire started on Tuesday 6 October, 8.6 miles south, and has reached an unrecorded size. 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 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 137 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.
