Lac-367707 Fire started on Sunday 11 October, 3.2 miles north, and has reached an unrecorded size. Lac-302653 Fire started on Tuesday 25 August, 3.3 miles north, and has reached an unrecorded size.

Cherry Fire started on Thursday 26 February, 5.8 miles south-east, and has reached 0 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 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 10 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.
