on record — first written down on Monday 19 October at 4:37pm local time, starting at 0 acres.
44.424, -122.680lat, lon
is the official point of origin on the interagency record.
Conditions measured 17.0 miles from the fire: 47°F, air at 88% humidity, a 0 mph wind out of the north-east.
Another fire is burning inside the same view. Courtney Creek 100 Fire started on Friday 11 September, 13.8 miles west, and has reached 2 acres. Its heat is counted against it, not against this fire, and the pale ring on the map marks where it is recorded.
Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 8:00am and 10:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 248 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.
