13 days

on record — first written down on Thursday 1 October at 4:19pm local time, starting at 25 acres.

45.779, -118.454lat, lon

is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Conditions measured 17.6 miles from the fire: 63°F, air at 16% humidity, a 4 mph wind out of the north-east.

Three other fires are burning inside the same view. Eagle Creek Fire started on Tuesday 25 August, 1.3 miles south-east, and has reached 0 acres. North Cayuse Fire started on Saturday 4 July, 6.7 miles south, and has reached 4,887 acres with 3 people assigned. Hagen Fire started on Thursday 16 July, 10.2 miles south-east, and has reached 61,380 acres with 188 people assigned. 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 17 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.
