#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - Last mapped a couple of hours ago @ ~1,120 acres w/ 25 acre spot fire. Visibility is an issue today but lesser activity showing, only copters up for now & it looks like they're working the S/W side near Mariposa Grove Rd. share.watchduty.org/incident/606
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - Perimeter now viewable on #FireMappers now (thanks @KeithJGw), includes that ~25 acre spot to the N/E, totaling just under 1,200 acres. Looks like the majority of the smaller spots are all part of the main fire now. Link > arcg.is/arKj5
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - Increasing fire activity & fire burning up slope to the east of Wawona Point on the ridge w/ the radio antennas, w/ likelihood of throwing additional spot fires out in front per radio traffic.
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - Retardant operations are restarting again, requesting 4 large air tankers & 2 VLATs back to the fire. FIRIS mapped the fire @ 1,384 acres around 4pm.
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - Visibility has become too poor for this retardant operation to continue, they were working on the ridge going east from Wawona Point but this has only been partially completed w/ gaps in the line per radio traffic.
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - 1,591 acres from the mapping data that was done around 10pm tonight. Red X's in 2nd & 3rd images are isolated heat signatures (spots). 2nd image = pointing north, 3rd image = pointing south. Little to see on cameras right now.
Nothing further to add on this one tonight, back later in the day.
