How it got here

One day of record on a day-47 fire

The record here begins at 2:31pm on 30 Aug and runs to 3:08pm on 30 Aug — 1 hours, 2 readings of heat. The fire is on day 47, so the first 46 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.
