Pomar Fire started on Thursday 3 September, 7.5 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres.

Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground four times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 17 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.
