Cap Rock Fire

The official record as of 10:09am today

The Cap Rock Fire is on the interagency wildfire record at 1 acres in Fremont County, Colorado. The figures below are the official record. A satellite heat map and day-by-day history appear here as soon as detections are attributed to this fire.

Conditions measured 11.2 miles from the fire: 41°F, air at 99% humidity, a 4 mph wind out of the north-east.

Three other fires are burning inside the same view. Cottonwood Fire started on Friday 28 August, 3.8 miles north, and has reached 0 acres. High Creek smoke report Fire started 1152 minutes before this one, 13.5 miles north-east, and has reached 0 acres. Jenning Gulch Fire started on Friday 21 August, 15.4 miles south-east, and has reached 1 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was moderate between 6:00am and 9:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 121 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.
