#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.

#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - The fire continues to move east & spot ahead, advancing approx 1/2-3/4 of a mile a day consistently. Currently .2-.3 of a mile away from Iron Creek. They have 7 hot shot crews on that far eastern end of the fire (140 hot shots).

#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - The ridge east of Wawona Point > Raymond Mtn continues to hold well, 100 hot shots in there now & anticipate calling that piece contained in ~48 hours. FF's continue to clean up around Mariposa Grove & the grove itself remains in a very good place.

#WashburnFire (Yosemite NP) - Also: likely will be able to repopulate Wawona (residents & property owners only) on Sunday morning, this is still under assessment & requires hazards to be mitigated first. That time frame is their best estimate. Likely more info on Sat morning.
