Saved report history for SUMMIT
Saved WFIGS/NIFC observations show how the agency-reported area and containment have changed. WildfireSignal does not estimate values between reports.
Reference lookback: 24 hours. Nearest available earlier report; this is not an exact rolling-window measurement.
No saved reports cover this comparison period.
Reference lookback: 7 days. Nearest available earlier report; this is not an exact rolling-window measurement.
No saved reports cover this comparison period.
Since the previous saved report
These figures compare agency reports saved at different times; they are not a measured spread rate. Acreage can change after mapping corrections, and unchanged values do not mean conditions on the ground are unchanged.
Recorded range: <0.1 to <0.1 acres. See the saved agency reports for exact observations.

WildfireSignal begins saving agency reports when it first observes a fire. Up to 48 recent observations are kept for 35 days. A compact incident identity and latest sourced summary are retained for up to five years so stable citations can outlast the detailed snapshot window; earlier detailed reports are not reconstructed.

Questions about SUMMIT
Where is SUMMIT?
The official incident record places it in Tuolumne, California. The map pin is a reported location, not the full fire boundary.
How large is SUMMIT?
The retained record reports <0.1 acres (approximately <0.1 hectares). This is reported incident size, not a measurement of current flames, and agencies can revise it.
How contained is SUMMIT?
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 SUMMIT discovered?
The reported discovery date is Nov 1, 2026, 5:44 PM 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.
Source details & methodologyHow this page uses agency, satellite and map data
This page combines agency incident reporting with separate satellite and map layers. They can update at different times and answer different questions.
WFIGS / NIFC
Use this for the reported fire name, acreage, containment, incident location and agency update time shown on this page.
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.
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.
