Update 7:30 P.M.

13,835 Acres with 70% Containment

Summary

Today crews continued building and reinforcing fire lines on the north and west perimeters. The east perimeter has burned down to the San Joaquin River. There will be a limited night shift tonight patrolling the south, west, and north perimter lines. 

Firefighting resources, such as engines and crews, will continue to be demobilized from the French Fire and sent to other fires in northern California. The public is reminded a lot of firefighting equipment will still be traveling on the roads going into the French Fire area and others will be leaving the community heading to other incidents. 

An investigation has concluded that an abandoned campfire near the Rock Creek Campground was the cause of the French Fire. The abandoned campfire was located towards the bottom of Rock Creek Road, near the San Joaquin River. Investigators are asking for the public’s help for information about anyone who was seen in the area of Rock Creek Road near the San Joaquin River during the afternoon or evening of Sunday July 27. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the 559-877-2605.
