Northside #2 Fire started on Monday 24 August, 6.9 miles south-east, and has reached an unrecorded size.

Plat I Rd Fire started on Tuesday 23 June, 7.8 miles south-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Murdock Fire started on Tuesday 7 July, 8.0 miles south-west, and has reached an unrecorded size. 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 thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 143 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.
