119 days

on record — first written down on Wednesday 8 July at 5:29pm local time, starting at 2 acres.

43.690, -123.571lat, lon

is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Conditions measured 3.6 miles from the fire: 50°F, air at 99% humidity, a 1 mph wind out of the south.

Four other fires are burning inside the same view. Snell Rd Fire started on Saturday 5 September, 8.4 miles east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Jack Creek Fire started on Sunday 14 June, 9.2 miles east, and has reached 0 acres. M Line Fire started on Tuesday 1 September, 12.1 miles north, and has reached 2 acres. Pheasant Creek Fire started on Tuesday 2 June, 13.5 miles south, 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 8:00am and 10:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 380 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.

How the record has moved

Each step is a change on the interagency incident record — acreage, containment or crews — with the date it was reported. No satellite reading is involved.
