Four other fires are burning inside the same view. Flat Fire started on Thursday 24 September, 11.0 miles east, and has reached 0 acres. Mustang Dr Springville 3 Fire started on Thursday 17 September, 14.0 miles north, and has reached 0 acres. Eagle Fire started on Monday 21 September, 14.0 miles north, and has reached 2 acres. Kings Fire started on Monday 21 September, 14.9 miles north-west, and has reached an unrecorded size. 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 once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 185 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.
