#OakFire (#Midpines, Mariposa Co) - From the community meeting: 15,603 acres, 0% contained. Day 1: within 3-4 hours it had moved from Hwy 140/Carstens to Carter Rd & Triangle Rd. Couldn't attack w/ resources on hand, had to protect a large number of structures instead.
#OakFire (#Midpines, Mariposa Co) - Reiterated their good progress made on the western side along Hwy 140, having direct line in from the origin, down 140 & around the S/W edge to Triangle Rd. They're also feeling much more confident about the south side of the fire as a whole.
#OakFire (#Midpines, Mariposa Co) - Still doing a lot of structure defense in Lushmeadows & fire remains established in Snow Creek. They wanted to hold Footman Ridge, lots of resources are in there & are in a hard fought battle on the eastern side of the fire.

#OakFire (#Midpines, Mariposa Co) - Brief ops update posted on MMU Facebook. From that: FF's are focusing their efforts along Jerseydale Rd on the east side of fire, the fire made a substantial run & jumped the road yesterday, was heading up to Footman Ridge last night.
#OakFire (#Midpines, Mariposa Co) - Had heavy air tankers in there last night near Jerseydale & are continuing that today. They're reinforcing the Mariposa Pines community where fire is a 1/2 mile away @ that time an hour ago, have a good plan to protect that community today.
#OakFire (#Midpines, Mariposa Co) - Div N in Lushmeadows: fire did burn to there yesterday but has eased up a bit. Have resources in there doing structure defense & constructing direct line. The fire made a substantial push along Triangle Rd on the first night.
