August 23, 2020 - Crews continue to safely and aggressively pursue suppression efforts in the Jackass Creek Drainage East of Highway 49.
Fire behavior during the previous operational period was not allowing any increase to containment, hampering air operations, and posing a significant threat to Priest Coulterville Road.
Mitigating the potential of the fire to spread to the evacuated communities remains the priority for fire personnel.
CAL FIRE continues to work with the local utility agencies to restore power where it does not pose a threat to fire fighter safety.
