Grouse Ridge Fire started on Friday 18 September, 8.9 miles south-east, 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was moderate 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.

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.
