Three other fires are burning inside the same view. Sage Creek Fire started on Thursday 20 August, 6.1 miles north, and has reached 91 acres with 70 people assigned. Midway Fire started on Tuesday 22 September, 9.3 miles south-east, and has reached 0 acres. Pluvius Fire started on Tuesday 15 September, 14.0 miles north, and has reached 0 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 four times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 236 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.
