Wind Fire

The official record as of 10:09am today

The Wind Fire is on the interagency wildfire record at 0 acres in Custer County, South Dakota. The figures below are the official record. A satellite heat map and day-by-day history appear here as soon as detections are attributed to this fire.

Conditions measured 11.8 miles from the fire: 56°F, air at 35% humidity, a 17 mph wind out of the north-west.

Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Theater Ridge Fire started 358 minutes after this one, 4.4 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Martin Fire started on Thursday 3 September, 5.1 miles south-east, and has reached 26 acres. Tiger Fire started 49 minutes after this one, 5.2 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Woods Fire started 5 minutes after this one, 6.1 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Blue Fire started 229 minutes after this one, 6.4 miles west, and has reached 0 acres. Cold Brook Fire started 262 minutes after this one, 6.7 miles south-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 six times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 2:10pm and 5:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 121 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.
