Another fire is burning inside the same view. Sisi Fire started on Friday 14 August, 13.7 miles west, and has reached 4,615 acres with 32 people assigned. 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 once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 10:10am and 1:00pm local time. The last of those windows closed 68 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.
