Four other fires are burning inside the same view. Elk Creek Fire started on Wednesday 2 September, 5.2 miles north-west, and has reached 0 acres. Anderson Creek Fire started on Monday 3 August, 5.7 miles north-west, and has reached 0 acres. Deer Fire started on Wednesday 2 September, 7.8 miles north, and has reached 0 acres. Ramsey Canyon Rd Fire started on Sunday 11 October, 13.0 miles south-west, 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 seven times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 23 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.
