How it got here

One day of record on a day-12 fire

The record here begins at 2:10pm on 4 Oct and runs to 2:10pm on 4 Oct — 0 hours, 1 readings of heat. The fire is on day 12, so the first 11 days are missing: nothing showed up from above until the fire was large enough and the sky over it clear enough for it to be seen. There is no long arc to draw yet. What follows is what has actually happened.
