Fire behavior and effects are projected to be beneficial on the landscape. Smoke impacts are projected to minimal to moderate throughout the duration of the incident. Incident is being managed with minimal resources - both on the ground and overhead - with cost containment and adhering to wilderness ethics being key objectives. Incident deployed three wildland fire modules to monitor fire behavior, spread, weather, and smoke production and dispersal. Modules also began to close and guard prominent trails in the area. An attempt was made to deploy a portable repeater due to communication holes in canyon bottoms around fire. Sweep, close and guard the 'Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne' trail and consider adjacent trail closures. Preparations are being completed to evacuate the Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp if necessary. Work closely with air quality regulators and consider deployment of particulate (smoke) monitoring devices in smoke sensitive areas
