is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Conditions measured 5.3 miles from the fire: 39°F, air at 71% humidity, a 4 mph wind out of the north.

Two other fires are burning inside the same view. Case Hill Fire started on Tuesday 25 August, 10.3 miles south-west, and has reached 6 acres. Idol Fire started on Wednesday 16 September, 13.2 miles north, and has reached 1 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 seven times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 2:10pm and 5:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 121 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
