46.380, -100.762lat, lon

is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Conditions measured 16.6 miles from the fire: 41°F, air at 70% humidity, a 21 mph wind out of the north-west.

Another fire is burning inside the same view. Bird Fire started on Saturday 5 September, 14.7 miles south, 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 11 times so far. The thickest of it was moderate between 10:00am and 12:00pm local time. The last of those windows closed 113 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.

How the record has moved

Each step is a change on the interagency incident record — acreage, containment or crews — with the date it was reported. No satellite reading is involved.
