Two other fires are burning inside the same view. I-5 MP 134 NB Median Fire started on Wednesday 22 July, 3.0 miles north, and has reached 0 acres. Vine St Fire started on Saturday 15 August, 4.1 miles south, 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 three times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 23 hours ago, so what is overhead now is not known.

Where the heat is

No cluster large enough to call a separate front. The heat is in one piece.

Conditions measured 21.0 miles from the fire: 70°F, air at 35% humidity, a 3 mph wind out of the east.

How it got here

One day of record on a day-38 fire

The record here begins at 1:21pm on 10 Sep and runs to 3:22pm on 10 Sep — 2 hours, 7 readings of heat. The fire is on day 38, so the first 37 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.
