Lac-331937 Fire started on Monday 14 September, 1.1 miles south-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Billy Fire started on Tuesday 6 October, 1.4 miles south, and has reached an unrecorded size. Margo Fire started on Saturday 19 September, 2.1 miles south-west, and has reached an unrecorded size. Bryson Fire started on Monday 21 September, 2.9 miles south, and has reached an unrecorded size. Campus Fire started on Friday 4 September, 3.2 miles south-east, 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 four times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 5:00am and 8:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 31 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.
