is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Conditions measured 14.6 miles from the fire: 63°F, air at 12% humidity, a 11 mph wind out of the south-east.

Two other fires are burning inside the same view. Overholt Fire started 772 minutes before this one, 8.1 miles west, and has reached 0 acres. Sheep Fire started 689 minutes before this one, 8.7 miles west, 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 233 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

Each step is a change on the interagency incident record — acreage, containment or crews — with the date it was reported. No satellite reading is involved.
