is the official point of origin on the interagency record.
Conditions measured 17.9 miles from the fire: 67°F, air at 50% humidity, a 7 mph wind out of the north-east.
Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Northside #2 Fire started on Monday 24 August, 2.2 miles north-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. I-5 MP 134 NB Median Fire started on Wednesday 22 July, 3.4 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Plat I Rd Fire started on Tuesday 23 June, 3.9 miles north-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Old Pioneer Fire started on Wednesday 17 June, 4.1 miles north-east, and has reached 0 acres. Fort McKay Scott Henry Fire started on Thursday 4 June, 4.8 miles west, and has reached 0 acres. Crouch Rd Fire started on Saturday 20 June, 5.5 miles west, and has reached 10 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 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 10 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.
