Orchard Fire

The official record as of 2:20am today

The Orchard Fire is on the interagency wildfire record at 2 acres in Fresno County, California. The figures below are the official record. A satellite heat map and day-by-day history appear here as soon as detections are attributed to this fire.

Conditions measured 2.6 miles from the fire: 68°F, air at 16% humidity, a 6 mph wind out of the north-east.

Six other fires are burning inside the same view. H7 Fire started 0 minutes after this one, 0.0 miles north, and has reached 0 acres. Lap Fire started on Monday 5 October, 2.4 miles north-west, and has reached 0 acres. Dun Fire started on Saturday 19 September, 2.5 miles east, and has reached 0 acres. Dunlap Fire started on Wednesday 16 September, 3.6 miles north, and has reached 0 acres. Wax Fire started on Monday 7 September, 5.4 miles north-west, and has reached 0 acres. Land Fire started on Saturday 10 October, 5.6 miles east, and has reached 20 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 once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 202 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.
