Three other fires are burning inside the same view. Stowe Fire started on Saturday 29 August, 4.0 miles south, and has reached 0 acres. Chewiliken Strike Fire started on Saturday 29 August, 4.7 miles south-east, and has reached 0 acres. Sinlahekin Fire started on Sunday 26 July, 13.7 miles west, and has reached 166,007 acres with 122 people assigned. 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 8:00am and 10:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 25 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.
