Conditions measured 12.5 miles from the fire: 56°F, air at 48% humidity, a 9 mph wind out of the east.
Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Dickie Prairie Fire started on Wednesday 9 September, 5.6 miles north-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Evans Creek 31 Fire started 69 minutes after this one, 7.2 miles south-west, and has reached an unrecorded size. Vaughan Fire started on Monday 24 August, 7.8 miles north, and has reached an unrecorded size. Sprague Fire started on Saturday 12 September, 8.7 miles north, and has reached an unrecorded size. Edison Fire started on Friday 28 August, 9.8 miles south-west, and has reached an unrecorded size. Butte Main Fire started on Tuesday 29 September, 11.0 miles south-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 143 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.
