Three other fires are burning inside the same view. Wallace Walker Fire started on Friday 17 July, 9.2 miles north-east, and has reached 801 acres. Devil'S Canyon Fire started on Friday 17 July, 11.1 miles north-east, and has reached 4,766 acres. Nunamaker Road Fire started on Saturday 8 August, 15.2 miles north-east, and has reached 20,870 acres with 1 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 17 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.
