How it got here

One day of record on a day-48 fire

The record here begins at 3:09am on 30 Aug and runs to 3:43am on 30 Aug — 1 hours, 2 readings of heat. The fire is on day 48, so the first 47 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.
