Three other fires are burning inside the same view. Bowmaiden Fire started on Wednesday 23 September, 2.5 miles west, and has reached 0 acres. Sand Fire started on Tuesday 29 September, 8.4 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Laurel Fire started on Saturday 12 September, 11.5 miles south-west, and has reached 1 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 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 257 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
