is the official point of origin on the interagency record.
Conditions measured 19.3 miles from the fire: 74°F, air at 33% humidity, a 3 mph wind out of the east.
Three other fires are burning inside the same view. Oak Fire started on Monday 12 October, 6.6 miles north-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Fort Hill Fire started on Wednesday 26 August, 6.7 miles east, and has reached an unrecorded size. NonSTAT Rock Creek Rd Fire started on Thursday 20 August, 10.2 miles 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 21 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.
