Six other fires are burning inside the same view. School House Coal Seam Fire started 198 minutes after this one, 0.0 miles north, and has reached 0 acres. School House 1 Fire started 256 minutes after this one, 0.5 miles south-east, and has reached 0 acres.

Broken Jaw Fire started 1192 minutes before this one, 1.5 miles south, and has reached 226 acres. School House 3 Fire started 260 minutes after this one, 1.6 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 seven times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 2:10pm and 5:30pm 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.
