I believe they defensively fired off the JFK Memorial Drive during Carr fire to protect the Park HQ. If I recall it was a much lower intensity burn than typical Carr burn scar in this area. This fire has spotted into this area with plenty of fuel still. Large structure defense setting up for Park HQ.

Hwy299 opened about 40min ago with one-way traffic control right near the fire area.
Four type1 rotor working the heavy fuels assisting with mop up. My last post unless conditions change.
I agree, strong work on IA and getting ahead for structure defense!
