The Inn Fire started on Thursday May 22, at approximately 3:36 p.m. on the west side of Highway 395, just south of Mono City. Erratic winds caused the fire to grow quickly and spot across the east side of Highway 395. A full suppression response was ordered by fire management, including firefighting aircraft. Highway 395 was quickly closed in both directions for safety and for the threat and impacts to power lines. Evacuation orders were issued approximately one half hour after the fire started for Mono City, then Lundy Canyon after.
