<\/p>\nPinecrest, CA…The fire has increased in size to 35,684 acres and continues to burn on the eastern perimeter into the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness. There is a potential for spot fires to the east as southwest winds are expected today. Firefighters are focusing on building and strengthening fire lines on this eastern edge. This portion of the fire is in remote, inaccessible country and crews are spiking out to work in these areas. The main fire camp has moved to Bear Valley and will be supporting the crews. The satellite camp in Kennedy Meadows remains to support firefighters working on the southeast portion of the fire area. Firefighters are also looking at the Highland Lakes area to the north for contingency planning as the fire could make a run up the Arnot drainage that leads to that area.<\/p>\n

The landscape in the fire area has been dramatically altered and you may view this from your car \u2013 but please don\u2019t stop while we continue to work between Eagle Meadow Road (5N01) and Sonora Pass.
