#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - From the community meeting: the fire is not moving very quick, it is however burning very intensely due to the fuels. Fire has flanked along Hwy 41 & the spot fires across Hwy 41 have all been picked up & were small in nature.
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - They have got hand/dozer line in along the Wawaona/Stud Horse Trail system down to the South Fork of the Merced River, no spots across it. They have some dozer line around the Wawona community along w/ sprinklers, hose & engines if the fire advances.
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - The east side of the fire has been flanking along the slopes & making short up slope runs. 6 hot shot crews have been working east from Wawona Point towards the forest boundary & have line in there + retardant. That ridge is holding for now.

#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - Last mapped a few hours ago @ 1,821 acres. Just now looking to get HelCo back to the fire to assess whether copters can resume work (no copters or tankers due to visibility right now). Map via #FireMappers: arcg.is/0bK9LT ImageImage
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - There is a ridge they want to paint w/ retardant (possibly the one running east-west from yesterday near Wawona Point) & the air looks clear enough for it per the HelCo, ordering an Air Attack + lead plane back to the fire to confirm.
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - Air Attack requesting 3 large air tankers & 1 VLAT back to the fire, they'll be painting this ridge below in blue, which was also partially done yesterday until visibility shut it down. ImageImage

#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 ImageImage
#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 ImageImage
#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. Image

#FawnFire (#MountainGate, Shasta Co) - From the community meeting: 6,820 acres & 10% containment. 169 engines, 45 dozers, 35 handcrews & 29 water tenders assigned for a total of 1,663 personnel. 9,000 structures remain threatened.
#FawnFire - A damage inspection team from CAL FIRE is en-route & arrive tomorrow, as a result of that they should have updated structural damage/destroyed figures tomorrow. A priority today was mop up & patrol in Div Y on the S/W side, significant amount of structures there.
#FawnFire - As of this evening, they've had no reports of any additional structures burning today. Lots of good work has been done & those 9,000 structures that are threatened are now in a much better situation than earlier on, but a lot of work left to do.
