is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Conditions measured 18.8 miles from the fire: 59°F, air at 35% humidity, a 5 mph wind out of the north-east.

Three other fires are burning inside the same view. Dalton Fire started 0 minutes after this one, 0.0 miles north, and has reached 0 acres. Hidden Fire started on Tuesday 29 September, 8.4 miles east, and has reached 2 acres. Rock Fire started on Saturday 29 August, 10.5 miles north-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 once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 185 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.

How the record has moved
