Conditions measured 8.0 miles from the fire: 56°F, air at 62% humidity, a 2 mph wind out of the east.
Two other fires are burning inside the same view. The Narrows Fire started on Saturday 8 August, 6.0 miles west, and has reached 305 acres with 8 people assigned. Austin Fire started 207 minutes before this one, 7.9 miles south, and has reached 12,888 acres with 325 people assigned. 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 once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 8:00am and 10:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 143 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.
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.
