Mosquito Fire Grows to 58,544 Acres, 20% Containment & 3,052 Personnel. Tahoe Air Quality Improves
Foresthill, CA...The fire was active Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, particularly on the northeast side. Night-shift crews completed firing operations on the north side from Forks House Trailhead to the Deadwood Road. On the west side, south of Foresthill where the fire spotted over the Middle Fork of the American River Tuesday afternoon, fire activity did moderate overnight. The mission-critical priority for firefighters Wednesday is the west side of the fire; they will focus on protecting structures in the Foresthill and Todd Valley areas and increasing containment of the fireline to prevent further westward and northward spread. The southeast corner is also a priority as crews strive to halt the fire’s progression toward Stumpy Meadows. Numerous aircraft are supporting ground crews, conducting water and retardant drops during both day and night shifts. Read the morning update and watch the daily operational briefing (posted around 8:30 a.m.) for more detailed information on the current situation.
Evacuations:
Numerous evacuation orders and warnings are in effect for both Placer County and El Dorado County. If you have not already evacuated, do so if you are under an evacuation order. If you are under a warning, ensure that you are prepared and ready to evacuate at a moment's notice. The best place to view the evacuation zones and where you are in relation to them is your county's live interactive maps:
Placer County evacuation map (PDF of evacuation zones and descriptions - - UPDATED on September 13, 2022 - -)
El Dorado County evacuation map (PDF of evacuation zones and descriptions - - UPDATED on September 13, 2022 - - )
The decision to evacuate a community is done with an understanding of the inconvenience it places on those who live and work in a community, but public safety is obviously the priority. The incident management team, incident commanders, county sheriffs, and cooperators meet daily, communicate frequently about fire behavior, and continually assess the evacuation situation. Information will be quickly disseminated when decisions are made to issue or rescind evacuation orders or warnings.

Mosquito Fire videos are available on YouTube (daily operations briefing, virtual community meetings, and more).

Damage assessments:
Damage assessments have been completed for some communities affected by the fire. Placer County residents from Michigan Bluffs should call 530-886-5390 to inquire about the status of their property. El Dorado County residents should refer to the online structure-status map and enter their address in the search bar get information about the condition of their property.
Background:
The Mosquito Fire was detected the evening of Tuesday, September 6, and is actively burning east of Foresthill, California, predominantly on the Tahoe and Eldorado National Forests in Placer and El Dorado counties, respectively. The vegetation consists mainly of brush and timber, and the landscape in most places is very steep and rugged. Numerous communities are under evacuation orders and warnings in both counties. Road closures, National Forest closures, and fire restrictions are in effect. California Interagency Incident Management Team 5, a Type 1 team, is managing the fire in unified command with CAL FIRE and Placer County Sheriff's Office.
