is how close the heat has come to El Cerrito at any point in the record. In the last day the nearest heat has been 4.0 miles from it, and the closest this fire has come to Temescal Valley is 2.5 miles, 2.5 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.
Another fire is burning inside the same view. Eagle Fire started on Thursday 27 August, 3.4 miles north, and has reached 0 acres. Its heat is counted against it, not against this fire, and the pale ring on the map marks where it is recorded.
Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground three times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 48 hours ago, so what is overhead now is not known.
Where the heat is
No cluster large enough to call a separate front. The heat is in one piece.
Conditions measured 3.7 miles from the fire: 102°F, air at 23% humidity, a 9 mph wind out of the south.
How it got here
Two days of record on a day-3 fire
The record here begins at 2:00am on 26 Aug and runs to 3:04am on 28 Aug — 49 hours, 6 readings of heat. The fire is on day 3, so the first day is missing: nothing showed up from above until the fire was large enough and the sky over it clear enough for it to be seen.
