Four other fires are burning inside the same view. Black Butte Fire started on Saturday 22 August, 4.9 miles west, and has reached 4 acres. Curtis Creek Fire started on Saturday 3 October, 11.0 miles north-west, and has reached an unrecorded size. Poodle Creek Fire started on Saturday 13 June, 12.8 miles west, and has reached 0 acres. Old Pioneer Fire started on Wednesday 17 June, 15.4 miles south-west, 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 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.

How the record has moved

Each step is a change on the interagency incident record — acreage, containment or crews — with the date it was reported. No satellite reading is involved.
