Conditions measured 21.9 miles from the fire: 59°F, air at 35% humidity, a 4 mph wind out of the south-east.

Two other fires are burning inside the same view. Crater Fire started 607 minutes before this one, 7.2 miles south-east, and has reached 705 acres with 36 people assigned. Jackass Butte Fire started on Friday 24 July, 9.5 miles south, and has reached 24,724 acres with 14 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 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 17 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
