Inn Fire Update – May 26, 2025

Efforts to contain the Inn Fire continue to show steady progress. The fire is now 31% contained, with containment line established along the fire’s edge on the east side of Highway 395. On the northern edge and west of Highway 395, containment work is underway, with completed dozer line extending west from the highway until the terrain becomes too steep for dozers to operate. Crews are continuing handline construction and utilizing hose lays to extinguish remaining heat and secure the fire perimeter.

Yesterday, helicopters were used to drop water on hot spots in the steep terrain on the west side of the fire. Last night marked the final shift for night operations; however, the fire area will continue to be patrolled.

Although overall fire behavior remains minimal, primarily creeping and smoldering, firefighters are working in steep, rugged terrain where rollout (the movement of burning material downslope) remains a concern. Rollout can lead to new ignitions below control lines, so crews are staying vigilant and prioritizing safety. Winds last night tested containment lines, but the fire remained within its footprint attesting to the dedicated work of firefighters and the strength of established containment efforts

Smoke may still be visible, especially from interior pockets during the heat of the day, as crews work to strengthen lines and deepen containment.

As of last night May 25, Highway 395 has reopened. Drivers are advised to use caution and remain alert for fire personnel and equipment working in the area.

Please continue to monitor updates from CalTrans District 9 and the Mono County Sheriff’s Office for the latest information on road status and evacuation guidance.
