Two other fires are burning inside the same view. Cottonwood Fire started on Friday 28 August, 10.5 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Cap Rock Fire started 1152 minutes after this one, 13.5 miles south-west, and has reached 1 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was moderate between 6:00am and 9:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 121 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.
