Two other fires are burning inside the same view. Knob Fire started on Tuesday 25 August, 14.7 miles north-west, and has reached an unrecorded size. Easy Fire started on Saturday 29 August, 15.2 miles west, 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 once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 185 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.
