45.225, -122.438lat, lon
is the official point of origin on the interagency record.
Conditions measured 14.3 miles from the fire: 48°F, air at 92% humidity, a 1 mph wind out of the north.
Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Hult Tree Fire started on Sunday 20 September, 3.2 miles south, and has reached an unrecorded size. Vaughan Fire started on Monday 24 August, 7.6 miles south-west, and has reached an unrecorded size. Sprague Fire started on Saturday 12 September, 7.6 miles south-west, and has reached an unrecorded size. Folsom Fire started on Saturday 12 September, 8.4 miles north-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Tracy Rd Fire started on Monday 28 September, 8.9 miles north-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Sweetwater Fire started on Friday 21 August, 9.2 miles north-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.
