Incident Update Oak Fire

Situation Summary

Although good progress continues on the fire, there is much work to be done. An infrared flight over the fire showed minimal heat in Lushmeadows and surrounding communities. Crews have been able to hold and improve the fire line in the Mariposa Pines area. More evacuation orders were reduced to a fire advisement early this afternoon. Very steep and rugged terrain continue to pose a challenge to crews on the North and Northeastern side of the fire, which is making the area inaccessible to bulldozers, requiring hand crews to access by foot to cut in direct fire line. Smoke in the area also hampered aircraft. More resources will be sent to the north to assist with fire suppression. As forecasted, the monsoonal moisture increased relative humidity and lowered temperatures by a few degrees. Damage inspection continues and numbers are updated daily.

Fire restrictions and closures near the fire area are in place on the Sierra National Forest. This closure will support public safety by keeping public members out of
hazardous burn areas and will allow firefighting resources to combat the Fire without public interference. For additional information, visit:
