134 days

Type 5 Incident

is the incident-management level assigned to it.

47.447, -119.862lat, lon

is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Conditions measured 12.1 miles from the fire: 50°F, air at 86% humidity, a 0 mph wind out of the west.

Another fire is burning inside the same view. Sutherland Fire started on Saturday 5 September, 6.8 miles west, and has reached 130 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 8:00am and 10:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 140 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

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.
