The Sheering Fire is burning in an area with excessive snags, hazard trees, and dead and down fuel within the 2013 Rim Fire footprint.

Sandwiched between Duckwall and Bell Mountain near Cherry Lake, the lightning caused fire has been burning since June 25 with resources currently on scene. Burn scars from the Quarry Fire (2023), Bone Fire (2023), and Rosasco Fire (2019) provide secondary barriers to East, West, and South.
