Two larger fires are burning outside this frame: Lyons Ferry Fire 6.2 miles north-east at 33,749 acres and Devil'S Canyon Fire 9.2 miles west at 4,766 acres. None of their heat is counted here.
Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground four times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 17 hours ago, so what is overhead now is not known.

How it got here
One day of record on a day-55 fire
The record here begins at 1:58am on 23 Aug and runs to 4:15am on 23 Aug — 2 hours, 7 readings of heat. The fire is on day 55, so the first 54 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. There is no long arc to draw yet. What follows is what has actually happened.
