Schell Fire

The official record as of 9:09am today

The Schell Fire is on the interagency wildfire record at 12 acres in Stanislaus County, California. 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 9.6 miles from the fire: 73°F, air at 23% humidity, a 1 mph wind out of the south-west.

Three other fires are burning inside the same view. Snow Fire started on Thursday 3 September, 11.5 miles north-west, and has reached 0 acres. Fine Fire started on Monday 12 October, 14.4 miles north-west, and has reached 100 acres. Leyenda Fire started on Sunday 6 September, 15.3 miles south-east, 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 once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 185 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.
