#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - Last mapped at 3,516 acres by FIRIS - on map below, remains 22% contained. Not too much happening right now, a couple of copters are up over by Raymond Mountain. The spots across the river & Hwy 41 showed no more heat. Map > arcg.is/14HDCv0 ImageImage
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - Fire Watch 51 has located another 50x50ft spot 100ft across Hwy 41, says there is clear air above & they should be able to get it, ordering 2 copters for bucket work. The ridge east of Wawona Point continues to hold w/ all activity to the north.
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - FW51 mapped the fire @ 3,717 acres just now. The spot fire across Hwy 41 in Div M is now approx 2 acres per radio traffic. There is also some spots well ahead of the main fire north of Raymond Mountain about a mile from Iron Creek.
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - The spot fire in Division M across Hwy 41 has been stopped & the copters that were on it are returning to base.
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - All aircraft being released for the night, Air Attack reporting nothing has crossed the South Fork of the Merced River. Some activity on the eastern side of the fire in Div Y but everything else looks good per radio traffic as AA departed.
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - Intel 12 mapped the fire @ 3,843 acres. No obvious growth other than for the eastern side north of Raymond Mtn - shown below. 17% contained - this could be because of new growth rather than losing existing containment. ImageImage

#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - From the community conference: the line around the Mariposa Grove & out to Hwy 41 is holding very well, still mopping up. 16 small spot fires were across Hwy 41 in the past few days & those are all contained & being mopped up.
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - The Hwy 41 road system to Stud Horse Trail is looking very well. All of the sport fires to the north of the river are contained. There is less & less heat every day along the S-F-M-R on the western end of the fire.
#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - [Their internet turns to shit around here] still a lot of heat along the S-F-M-R on the eastern end of the fire. Inserted a crew via helicopter to a remote cabin in the Buck Creek area incase fire spreads that way, prepping around the structure.
