Two other fires are burning inside the same view. East Fork Fire started on Thursday 27 August, 0.1 miles south, and has reached 16 acres. Dry Creek Fire started on Thursday 27 August, 0.7 miles north-west, and has reached 7 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 three times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 6:20am and 9:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 140 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.
