Carousel Fire

The official record as of 9:09am today

The Carousel Fire is on the interagency wildfire record at 11 acres in Riverside County, California. 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 4.7 miles from the fire: 76°F, air at 24% humidity, a 5 mph wind out of the north.

Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Fox Fire started on Saturday 26 September, 0.3 miles north-east, and has reached 0 acres. Mtz/Rru/Wood Fire started on Tuesday 25 August, 0.5 miles north-west, and has reached 0 acres. Kelly Ln / Alexander St Fire started on Friday 18 September, 1.2 miles north, and has reached 0 acres. Wood Fire started on Tuesday 25 August, 1.3 miles west, and has reached 76 acres. Wood - Leave Open Fire started on Tuesday 25 August, 1.3 miles west, and has reached 77 acres. Rru/Harford Fire started on Sunday 4 October, 2.2 miles west, 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 five times so far. The thickest of it was moderate between 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 161 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.
