Citrus Fire

The official record as of 9:09am today

The Citrus Fire is on the interagency wildfire record at 15 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 7.3 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. Thorn Fire started on Wednesday 23 September, 1.4 miles east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Copper Fire started on Saturday 12 September, 4.3 miles south-west, and has reached 1 acres. Eagle Fire started on Thursday 27 August, 4.7 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Kramer Fire started on Sunday 23 August, 5.8 miles south-east, and has reached 1 acres. Gustin Fire started on Friday 18 September, 6.8 miles south-east, and has reached 30 acres. Temescal Canyon Rd / Dos Lagos Dr Fire started on Wednesday 26 August, 6.8 miles south-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.
