Otter Fire

The official record as of 9:09am today

The Otter Fire is on the interagency wildfire record at 0 acres in Tuolumne 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 14.3 miles from the fire: 77°F, air at 16% humidity, a 7 mph wind out of the east.

Four other fires are burning inside the same view. Hatchery Fire started on Sunday 27 September, 8.6 miles north, and has reached 1 acres. Main Fire started on Sunday 30 August, 10.3 miles south, and has reached 0 acres. Links Fire started on Sunday 11 October, 13.5 miles north-west, and has reached 2 acres. Ladera Fire started on Thursday 24 September, 13.7 miles south-west, 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 once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 185 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.
