is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Conditions measured 5.1 miles from the fire: 40°F, air at 69% humidity, a 6 mph wind out of the north-west.

Another fire is burning inside the same view. Campbell Divide Fire started on Monday 14 September, 3.4 miles north-west, and has reached 15 acres. Its heat is counted against it, not against this fire, and the pale ring on the map marks where it is recorded.

Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground seven 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.

How the record has moved
