Coal Hollow Fire

The Coal Hollow fire, 10 minutes up Spanish Fork Canyon, was started by lightning on August 4th and has burned over 6,000 acres.

The plume of smoke and a pyrocumulus cloud has been visible for the last few days.

The smoke and fire temperature shows well in GOES-16 observations:

The air quality in Spanish Fork this morning (August 9, 2018) is extremely bad. I ride the train with
my dad and he had a hint smelled of smoke on his clothes.

The Red Narrows weather station up Spanish Fork Canyon shows the shift in wind down the canyon last night.
