Publication Type: News 07/04/2023

80 personnel are assigned to the fire

158 total acres burned.

Fire crews had another successful day of burning. The fire continues to burn with low intensity.

With increasing temperatures and decrease in relative humidity fire professionals adjusted tactics slowing down firing operations, but still meeting objectives and continued progress.

Groveland and Fulton hotshot crews were actively lighting the fire.

Three, type 3  engines worked at holding the fire lines.  One engine is from the Stanislaus National Forest, one from the Los Padres and one from the Inyo National Forest.
