Stairs Fire

The official record as of 9:09am today

The Stairs Fire is on the interagency wildfire record at 3 acres in Tulare County, California. The figures below are the official record. A satellite heat map and day-by-day history appear here as soon as detections are attributed to this fire.

Conditions measured 6.2 miles from the fire: 77°F, air at 22% humidity, a 3 mph wind out of the south-west.

Five other fires are burning inside the same view. Durango Fire started on Monday 5 October, 4.7 miles north, and has reached 0 acres. Mustang Dr Springville 3 Fire started on Thursday 17 September, 6.9 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Eagle Fire started on Monday 21 September, 8.6 miles south-west, and has reached 2 acres. Buck Fire started 1301 minutes before this one, 10.3 miles west, and has reached 0 acres. Lewis Fire started on Tuesday 29 September, 12.0 miles east, and has reached an unrecorded size. 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 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 185 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.
