Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground three times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 23 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
