California Wildland Fire News ~ 7/29

Statewide Fire Overview - Lightning Series

California’s firefighters have received assistance from firefighting agencies across the state, nation and several foreign countries. Conditions throughout California remain extremely dry and fire danger remains very high.

On Friday afternoon a new fire broke out in Mariposa County unrelated to the lightning siege. The Telegraph Fire is burning just east of Yosemite National Park and is threatening approximately four thousand homes. Firefighters observed extremely erratic fire behavior due to the dry conditions and the fact that the area has not burned in the past 100 years.
