Sheep Fire - 2425 acresWUF
The Sheep Fire in Kings Canyon National Park has grown to 2425 acres based upon an infrared (IR) mapping mission August 24. The fire is visible in Cedar Grove. However, there are currently no threats to life or property. The park and the Sequoia National Forest are in unified command of the fire.
Fire growth has been predominately along the southern and western flanks.
Resources include the parks' Crew 91, Helicopter 552, Engine 51 (Grant Grove), and Engine 72 (Ash Mountain). Sequoia National Forest's resources include Crew 20 and Crew 2.
Additionally, three helicopters have been ordered to complete water drops along the western flank. This is in an effort to slow the fire's western growth and reduce smoke impacts. Cooler temperatures are forecasted for this weekend and should moderate fire growth.
Indirect fireline (away from the fire's edge) has been constructed on the forest to tie in the fire's western and northern edge to keep fire out of Lightning Creek drainage. Several spot fires over the Lookout Peak Ridge fireline have been handled by crews.
