Inn Fire Update – May 27, 2025 

Firefighters continue to increase containment on the Inn Fire, which is now 54% contained as of last night. Containment has been secured along the entire east side of Highway 395 and parts of the west side, where firefighters have completed dozer and handlines. In the remaining uncontained areas, crews are working in extremely steep and rugged terrain to establish a secure perimeter. 

Crews are also focused on mop-up operations, which involve working at least 100 feet inward from the fire's edge. During mop-up, firefighters use water and hand tools to stir the ground and cool any remaining heat. This process ensures that hidden embers or hotspots are fully extinguished, reducing the risk of flare-ups and helping to strengthen containment lines. 

To further reduce risk in an extremely dry field on the northeast side of the fire, a sprinkler system is being utilized to keep the area moist and help prevent any potential flare-ups. 

In some parts of the fire, crews have also begun backhauling equipment—removing hose and other fireline tools that are no longer needed—as containment efforts increase. 

Firefighters remain actively engaged in increasing containment, continuing to mop-up, patrol, and secure the fireline. 

As of 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. Thank you for your continued support of the hardworking crews on the fireline.
