Due to the great work of firefighters, and thanks to the community and cooperating agency support, the Inn Fire reached 100% containment at 6:00 p.m. on June 4, 2025.
The fire area received precipitation over the past two days, helping extinguish remaining hot spots. The hot spots are mainly located on the northern flank of the fire where there are meadows with a heavy peat-soil component that tends to retain pockets of heat. Firefighters will continue to regularly check and patrol the area both visually and with heat-sensing technology, and will take action as necessary to prevent any threat to containment lines.

“We expect there to be smokes that pop up from time to time, especially when it is dry and we have winds,” said Incident Commander Phillip Lewis.
“Even though the fire is contained, we will now work toward calling the fire controlled and out. We may not be able to call this fire out until we have a season-ending weather event with significant precipitation, which may not happen until this winter. Summer monsoons typically do not provide enough wetting rain to put a fire completely out.”
If local residents see a smoke that concerns them, they are encouraged to call the Owens Valley Communications Center public emergency line at: (760) 873-2488.
