Laurel Fire

The official record as of 9:09am today

The Laurel Fire is on the interagency wildfire record at 1 acres in Mariposa County, California. The figures below are the official record. A satellite heat map and day-by-day history appear here as soon as detections are attributed to this fire.

Conditions measured 8.6 miles from the fire: 58°F, air at 23% humidity, a 3 mph wind out of the east.

Five other fires are burning inside the same view. Sand Fire started on Tuesday 29 September, 4.6 miles east, and has reached 0 acres. Stump Fire started on Wednesday 9 September, 8.4 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Bowmaiden Fire started on Wednesday 23 September, 10.2 miles north-east, and has reached 0 acres. Polly Fire started on Thursday 8 October, 11.5 miles north-east, and has reached 0 acres. Dome Fire started on Tuesday 15 September, 12.2 miles south, and has reached 6,788 acres with 596 people assigned. 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 nine times so far. The thickest of it was moderate between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 169 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.
