| Size | 16,228 acres |
| Percent Contained | 5% |
| Fuels Involved | Brush, Oaks, and Pine |
| Fire Behavior | Active fire continued to move up Tuolumne River above Lumsden Bridge and the Gravel Range. There are a few areas the fire has encroached and crossed Highway 120 and has moved into timbered areas. |
| Significant Events | Highway 120 is closed four miles west of Groveland Ranger Station and four miles east of Buck Meadows. Ferretti Road was closed yesterday. Access to the fire is still a concern for fire crews and equipment |
Outlook
| Planned Actions | Continued fixed wing air support. |
|---|---|
| Growth Potential | Extreme |
| Terrain Difficulty | Extreme |
| Remarks | Two residences and seven outbuildings were lost along Packard Canyon Road on the eastward push of the fire. Approximately 2,500 structures are threatened to the west of the fire along Ferretti Road north of Highway 120. Due to inaccessible, steep terrain and active fire behavior a combination of direct and indirect attack will be used on this incident. Preparations were completed to secure fire camp if the fire were to threaten the Incident Command Post. Column induced weather preceded the fire front yesterday and rain halted the fires spread in the direction of camp. Other areas of the fire continued to burn actively with a southeasterly spread of the fire over Highway 120. |
