Ferguson Fire Update... 9,266 Acres, 2% Contained, Structures Threatened 108, Fatalities 1

Ahwahnee, CA...Situation Summary: The inversion layer today was strong covering most of the area in smoke and limiting the activity noted during the two previous afternoons. Smoke limited the air attack and observation of the East side of the fire. However, late in the afternoon, conditions changed as the fire began to actively move Southwest in the Hites Cove Rd. area. Clearer air allowed retardant drops using fixed wing tankers to effectively slow fire spread.





Fire crews continued fire 20+ line construction where possible and scouted for contingency lines further up river to keep fire on the South side of the South Fork Merced River. Crews planned and implemented structure preparation and protection strategies where permitted.

Due to continued hot and dry conditions over the next 5 days we urge you to be vigilant with your safety. With decreased visibility due to the smoke please stay cautious and be aware while driving in and around the fire areas. Mandatory Evacuations: Mandatory Evacuations: Areas that are currently under a mandatory evacuation include: Incline Rd from Clearing House to the last BLM campground; Jerseydale/Mariposa Pines; Cedar Lodge/ Indian Flat Campground, Savage’s Trading Post and Sweetwater Ridge
