What the sources tell you

This page combines agency incident reporting with separate satellite and map layers. They can update at different times and answer different questions.

Agency report

WFIGS / NIFC

Use this for the reported fire name, acreage, containment, incident location and agency update time shown on this page.

Satellite observations

NASA FIRMS

Heat detections can show recent thermal activity, but they are not an official acreage or containment figure and are not automatically attributed to this incident.

Boundary context

Agency perimeter layer

When a perimeter is available in the map layers, it may have a different timestamp from the incident report. The fire pin itself is only a reported location.

How this fire has changed

WildfireSignal keeps a short history of the agency values it has observed so you can see how reported acreage and containment have changed over time.

Latest reported area changeNo reported changeBetween reports saved Sep 28, 1:27 PM ET and Sep 28, 2:10 PM ET
Latest containment changeNot comparableOne or both observations are missing this measurement.

These are differences between agency reports saved at different times, not a measured spread rate. Acreage can decrease after mapping corrections, and unchanged figures do not prove conditions are unchanged.

Questions about Corny Coulee Wildfire

Where is Corny Coulee Wildfire?

The official incident record places it in Rosebud, Montana. The map pin is a reported location, not the full fire boundary.

How large is Corny Coulee Wildfire?

The retained record reports 400 acres (approximately 162 hectares). This is reported incident size, not a measurement of current flames, and agencies can revise it.

How contained is Corny Coulee Wildfire?

Containment is not reported in the available record. Containment describes control work intended to stop spread. It is not the percentage extinguished or an all-clear for nearby communities.

When was Corny Coulee Wildfire discovered?

The reported discovery date is Sep 3, 2026, 10:40 AM ET. Discovery time may differ from ignition time; elapsed time does not establish continuous burning.

Where should I check evacuation orders and road closures?

Use local emergency management, the sheriff or other law enforcement, and official fire-agency updates. WildfireSignal does not verify evacuation zones, open roads, or safe travel routes. The official-information section provides starting points; it does not establish that orders are present or absent.

Why can the map and the incident report differ?

Agency records, mapped perimeters and NASA satellite detections are updated on different schedules. Satellite heat near a fire is not automatically attributed to that incident. Older or unavailable data does not establish that an area is safe.

How this fire data works

WildfireSignal formats public WFIGS/NIFC incident data and displays NASA FIRMS heat separately. Agency details, satellite observations and fire perimeters can have different timestamps. Charts use only observations WildfireSignal has saved; they are not forecasts or reconstructed history.
