Sugar Fire

The official record as of 2:51pm today

The Sugar Fire is on the interagency wildfire record at 1 acres in Calaveras 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 9.2 miles from the fire: 66°F, air at 40% humidity, a 1 mph wind out of the north-west.

Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Victory Fire started on Tuesday 6 October, 1.9 miles west, and has reached 0 acres. Baker Fire started on Friday 11 September, 4.7 miles east, and has reached 0 acres. Avenue Fire started on Wednesday 2 September, 5.2 miles east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Oro Fire started on Friday 4 September, 7.3 miles west, and has reached 0 acres. House Fire started on Monday 28 September, 8.8 miles north-east, and has reached 0 acres. Matson Fire started on Friday 16 October, 11.2 miles north-east, and has reached 0 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 four times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 7 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.
