October 1, 2020 - The U.S. Forest Service reports smoke and air quality outlook for the San Joaquin-Yosemite areas, due to the Creek Fire.
Fire: Fire behavior is expected to be moderate to active again on the Creek Fire due to warm and dry conditions. Increased fire behavior is expected again this afternoon. For the latest Creek Fire fire information and details, go to: https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/videos/7147/
Smoke: Heavy smoke persists in the San Joaquin Valley due to the Creek fire as well as several other fires burning in California. As a result, foothill communities located west of the fire perimeter will continue to experience unhealthy levels of air quality. Easterly ridge winds over the Sierra crest are drifting smoke westerly, resulting in moderate to good smoke impacts in communities east of the fire, such as Lee Vining and Mammoth Lakes.
