is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Conditions measured 18.6 miles from the fire: 55°F, air at 33% humidity, a 8 mph wind out of the south.

Three other fires are burning inside the same view. B And O Fire started on Thursday 9 July, 2.1 miles south-east, and has reached 2,762 acres with 200 people assigned. Nickles Fire started on Thursday 17 September, 4.1 miles south-west, and has reached 1 acres. Soap Lake Fire started on Saturday 29 August, 9.0 miles south, and has reached 112 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 8:00am and 10:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 22 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.
