Conditions measured 10.4 miles from the fire: 52°F, air at 98% humidity, a 8 mph wind out of the north-east.
Four other fires are burning inside the same view. Curtis Creek Fire started on Saturday 3 October, 10.3 miles south, and has reached an unrecorded size. Jack Creek Fire started on Sunday 14 June, 12.6 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Snell Rd Fire started on Saturday 5 September, 13.0 miles south-west, and has reached an unrecorded size. Poodle Creek Fire started on Saturday 13 June, 14.5 miles south, 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.
