Another fire is burning inside the same view. Lexington Fire started on Monday 14 September, 14.4 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Its heat is counted against it, not against this fire, and the pale ring on the map marks where it is recorded.
Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground eight times so far. The thickest of it was moderate between 9:00am and 11:00am 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.
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.
