Three other fires are burning inside the same view. Seventeen Mile Fire started on Tuesday 25 August, 11.5 miles west, and has reached 0 acres. Rocky Point Fire started on Friday 2 October, 12.9 miles south, and has reached 0 acres. Rickey Canyon Fire started on Saturday 26 September, 13.8 miles east, and has reached 2 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 10:10am and 1:00pm 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.

How the record has moved
