Here is an updated map of the Station fire near Los Angeles showing heat detected by satellites at 3:21 a.m. PT Sept. 5. The red areas contain heat that was detected within the previous 12 hours. The yellow area is the latest fire perimeter provided by the incident management team working on the fire.

Below is another map, this one distributed by the incident staff. You can’t see a lot of detail, but it does have the completed line designated in black. However, the report below from the fire officials said the western perimeter line is complete, so the map is a little out of date.
The fire officials report, Saturday morning:
Firefighters made good progress over night and completed line construction on the western perimeter of the fire. They also successfully burned out areas between Bear Mountain and Chilao to extend the fire line on the northeastern perimeter. The fire is currently burning in the San Gabriel Wilderness. Today firefighters will continue to improve existing lines and concentrate efforts on containing the east and southeast flanks of the fire.
The fire has burned 154,655 acres, or 242 square miles, and is 49% contained.
