Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Devil's Den Fire started 31 minutes after this one, 1.2 miles north-west, and has reached 0 acres. Cleveland Hill Rd Fire started on Saturday 8 August, 1.5 miles east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Cal 200 Fire started on Friday 17 July, 2.5 miles south, and has reached 0 acres. Woodruff Mountain Rd. Fire started on Wednesday 3 June, 2.8 miles north-east, and has reached 0 acres. Oak Hill Rd Fire started on Tuesday 16 June, 6.6 miles north-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Dairy Loop Rd Fire started on Tuesday 23 June, 7.9 miles south, and has reached 2 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 three times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 23 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.
