Hwy. 49 opened for single-lane traffic with a pilot car at 8:00 o\u2019clock this morning. Marshes Flat Road open to residents only. The Tuolumne County Sheriff\u2019s Department is maintaining the roadblock. Current Situation: Firefighters held the area burned on the Marshes fire at 1000 acres since yesterday. Containment is increasing as crews continue building and reinforcing many miles of fire line across difficult terrain and through dense brush. Much of the fire area has not burned in over thirty years, resulting in a major buildup of dead vegetation. Firefighters must also continuously watch for rattlesnakes and yellow jackets which survived the flames in underground burrows, and are now out and moving through the burn. Weather continues to be hot and dry, with higher winds expected over the area today. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Fullscreen-capture-9282016-102606-AM.jpg\" alt=\"fullscreen-capture-9282016-102606-am\" width=\"640\" height=\"362\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Fullscreen-capture-9282016-102606-AM.jpg 640w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Fullscreen-capture-9282016-102606-AM-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Fullscreen-capture-9282016-102606-AM-123x70.jpg 123w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Fullscreen-capture-9282016-102606-AM-570x322.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/marktwainmedicalcenter.org\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/mtmcban916640.jpg\" alt=\"mtmcban916640\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25005\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Potential threat to 230 KV power lines from Moccasin Powerhouse still exists. <\/p>\n<p>Evacuations:  None.<\/p>\n<p>Cooperating Agencies:   Tuolumne County Sheriff\u2019s Department, CHP, PG&#038;E, OES, BLM, CAL FIRE, CDCR, U.S. Forest Service, City and County of San Francisco \u2013 Hetch Hetchy Water &#038; Power.
