Intel is up out of Lancaster it seems
Any idea what the distance is between the fire and Camp Mather?
It’s 5.81 mi. SE of Mather, which is on the Evergreen Road off of Hwy 120. The Aspen Valley Rd. is 1 mi. E. of the Hwy 120/Evergreen Road intersection, which is on the Big Oak Flat Entrance to Yosemite.

Per YoFire Facebook page, the fire is 19 acres and under full suppression. The fire was spotted by a helicopter assigned to the Red Fire. The fire is in the 9 year old Rim fire scar and is heavy down and dead, snags, timber, and brush.

Ty. Good to hear it’s under full suppression. My understanding is that there are cabins there. Historical maybe? I don’t know.

Scan/ Per IC 40 acres. Crews working both flanks. Line around 50%. Helos working. AA in place. Seeing more spotting with the heat of the day. Requested update on water tender availability.
Looks like a T80 is at Columbia as well and C404 just took off from there

When Yosemite National Park requests additional equipment, where do they get it? Is it ordered out of the nearest National Forest?
They would place their orders to So Ops and placed with the closest resource like SNF or STF

It is in a remote area and the Park doesn’t have a very wide spread radio network. There is only occasional information being talked about on command and unless you’re at right there, you aren’t going to hear comms on tac. Your best bet for info if you’re not wanting to wait for it here is probably the Yosemite Fire Facebook page
