How it got here
Two days of record on a day-17 fire
The record here begins at 9:49pm on 29 Sep and runs to 2:08pm on 30 Sep — 16 hours, 50 readings of heat. The fire is on day 17, so the first 15 days are missing: nothing showed up from above until the fire was large enough and the sky over it clear enough for it to be seen. There is no long arc to draw yet. What follows is what has actually happened.
