Fire Update
Firefighters will face continued warm and extremely dry night time conditions. Shifting winds coupled with low fuel moistures may lead to active fire behavior. Pockets of fuel within the fire perimeter will continue to burn creating a potential for spot fires outside containment lines. Tonight’s top priorities are to contain the spot fires along Tioga Road structure protection at Hetch Hetchy and patrol of the contained new fire start at Long Barn. Firefighters will patrol mop up and monitor lines while maintaining structure defense.
A Community Meeting was held this evening at 6:00 PM in the Twain Harte Park. Fire officials briefed attendees on the status of the fire and answered questions.
