Conditions measured 15.4 miles from the fire: 57°F, air at 41% humidity, a 6 mph wind out of the east.

Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground three times so far. The thickest of it was moderate between 2:00pm and 5:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 161 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

Each step is a change on the interagency incident record — acreage, containment or crews — with the date it was reported. No satellite reading is involved.
