is how close the heat has come to Beatty at any point in the record. In the last day the nearest heat has been 14.9 miles from it, and the closest this fire has come to Sprague River is 15.5 miles, 15.5 in the last day. The two figures are the same because the record is barely a day long: the last day is very nearly all of it.

is the furthest any heat has been seen from the point on the official record — the width of the ground involved so far.

Their heat is counted against them, not against this fire, and the pale rings on the map mark where they are recorded.

No smoke has been recorded lying over this ground.

Where the heat is
