Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Strickland Canyon Fire started on Monday 6 July, 4.9 miles north, and has reached an unrecorded size. Reston Ave Fire started on Monday 29 June, 5.6 miles east, and has reached 0 acres. Brockway Fire started on Sunday 5 July, 5.6 miles north-east, and has reached 1 acres. Dairy Loop Rd Fire started on Tuesday 23 June, 5.6 miles north, and has reached 2 acres. Mill Fire started on Sunday 31 May, 6.1 miles east, and has reached 0 acres. Hwy 99S 10000 Fire started on Friday 12 June, 6.1 miles east, 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 thin between 1:10pm 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
