Two other fires are burning inside the same view. Stockade Fire started on Saturday 29 August, 13.5 miles north-west, and has reached 0 acres.

Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground five times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 6:20am and 9:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 151 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.
