is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Conditions measured 2.3 miles from the fire: 36°F, air at 99% humidity, a 0 mph wind out of the north-east.

Two other fires are burning inside the same view. Crunch 78 Fire started on Monday 14 September, 5.9 miles north-east, and has reached 0 acres. Austin Fire started on Sunday 9 August, 15.4 miles west, and has reached 12,888 acres with 325 people assigned. 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 8:00am and 10:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 196 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

Each step is a change on the interagency incident record — acreage, containment or crews — with the date it was reported. No satellite reading is involved.
