Two other fires are burning inside the same view. Mutual Aid 274 Fire started 0 minutes after this one, 0.6 miles north, and has reached 20 acres. Mm 364 Fire started on Monday 24 August, 14.1 miles north, and has reached 0 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 four times so far. The thickest of it was moderate between 2:00pm and 5:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 161 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.
