Mokelumne Fire Now At 352 Acres & 30% Containment

Bear Valley, CA...The fire grew 133 acres and is now at 352 acres with moderate fire behavior and minimal smoke production. The fire burnt around a large granite face which accounts for a large portion of the 133 acre growth. Crews will continue to secure the western edge of the fire with assistance of the helicopters, maintaining MIST tactics, and maximizing the use of natural barriers.

The crews will be using helicopter bucket drops to minimize fire spread. The helicopter is dipping from a nearby man made reservoir outside of the wilderness. The fire has progressed east and is now burning into a larger brush field. Firefighters are working along the ridge line to maintain a low intensity fire in the timber while allowing a backing fire to consume the large brush field.

The following trails and campgrounds may be impacted by smoke as the fire progresses through a large brush field: Jackson Canyon, Frog Lake, Lake Valley (Camp Irene), Underwood Valley Trailhead (TH), Woodchuck TH, Sandy Meadow TH., Hermit Valley, Pacific Valley, Lake Alpine, and Camp Irene. This fire is being managed to protect, maintain, and enhance resources while being allowed to function in its natural ecological role.

No evacuations or closures have been issued at this time. The public is advised to avoid this area due to hazardous conditions.
