Four other fires are burning inside the same view. Koffman Fire started on Wednesday 19 August, 8.8 miles north-east, and has reached 20 acres. Hessler Flats Fire started on Sunday 13 September, 8.9 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Cove Road Fire started on Friday 19 June, 9.4 miles north-west, and has reached 0 acres. Burbank Bridge Fire started on Saturday 1 August, 12.3 miles south-east, 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 once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 11:00am and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 209 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.
