44.628, -123.772lat, lon
is the official point of origin on the interagency record.
Conditions measured 20.1 miles from the fire: 58°F, air at 63% humidity, a 4 mph wind out of the north-east.
Another fire is burning inside the same view. Nashville Rd Fire started on Saturday 29 August, 8.2 miles east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Its heat is counted against it, not against this fire, and the pale ring on the map marks where it is recorded.
Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground three times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 10:00am and 1:00pm 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.
