Yosemite Takes Back the Dome Fire at 95 Percent Contained
California Interagency Incident Management Team 4 is scheduled to hand command of the Dome Fire back to Yosemite National Park today. The fire is 95 percent contained at 6,788 acres with no perimeter change in several days, and staffing is down to 524 people in the latest federal report. Crews are patrolling, hauling out hose and equipment by mule and helicopter, and repairing hand lines to limit erosion. Warmer, drier weather with light winds holds through today. Glacier Point Road is open; every trail inside the fire footprint, including Ostrander, Mono Meadow and Buena Vista, stays closed, while Chilnualna Falls, Alder Creek, Four Mile and Panorama are open.
