Two other fires are burning inside the same view. Rio Blanco Fire started on Tuesday 28 July, 10.0 miles south-west, and has reached 1,388 acres with 26 people assigned. Swiss Roll Fire started on Thursday 20 August, 13.8 miles north, and has reached 777 acres with 1 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 once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 6:00am and 9:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 121 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.
