Phahin Fire

The official record as of 10:09am today

The Phahin Fire is on the interagency wildfire record at 26 acres in Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota. 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 2.0 miles from the fire: 49°F, air at 59% humidity, a 25 mph wind out of the north.

Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Needles Fire started on Friday 4 September, 2.0 miles north, and has reached 6,018 acres with 14 people assigned. Candle Fire started 895 minutes after this one, 2.6 miles north, and has reached 64 acres. Event Fire started on Friday 4 September, 3.3 miles north, and has reached 230 acres. Rancher Fire started 110 minutes before this one, 3.4 miles north-west, and has reached 504 acres with 2 people assigned. Brooks Fire started on Saturday 22 August, 3.8 miles south, and has reached 15 acres. Deckert Fire started 155 minutes before this one, 4.2 miles south-east, and has reached 191 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 six times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 2:10pm and 5:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 121 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.
