Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Kinney Divide Fire started on Thursday 3 September, 7.0 miles south-east, and has reached 20 acres. School House Coal Seam Fire started 1430 minutes before this one, 7.0 miles south-east, and has reached 0 acres. School House 1 Fire started 1371 minutes before this one, 7.5 miles south-east, and has reached 0 acres. School House Fire started on Wednesday 2 September, 7.6 miles south-east, and has reached 0 acres. Broken Country Fire started on Monday 7 September, 7.8 miles south-east, and has reached 184 acres. Broken Jaw Fire started on Wednesday 2 September, 7.9 miles south-east, and has reached 226 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
