Detwiler Fire is 5% Contained and Has Charred 15,500 Acres so Far

Mariposa County, CA...Fire activity continued to grow today as a result of unfavorable weather conditions, ample fuel, and steep terrain. The communities of Hunters Valley, Bear Valley, and Hornitos continue to be threatened as the fire encroaches on culturally and historically sensitive areas. Traffic along HWY 41 & 49 will be impacted as a result of road closures on HWY 49. The fire continues to threaten power lines to the south of the incident, which supply power to Yosemite National Park. Firefighters on the ground as well as aircraft are actively working to contain and suppress the fire. CAL FIRE Incident Management Team 4 assumed command of the incident at 1000 hrs. from the Madera, Mariposa, Merced Unit.




There will be a community meeting tomorrow evening at 1800 hrs. in the auditorium at MariposaCounty High School: 5074 Old Hwy N, Mariposa, CA 95338
