Current Situation

Size 550 Acres


Active wildfires caused by a significant lightning storm on Thursday, September 9 are growing and have potential to affect park infrastructure and resources. The parks are aggressively attacking these fires to suppress them.

The Cabin Fire reached approximately two acres and is largely contained.
The Colony and Paradise Fires are in much steeper and dangerous terrain and are being attacked by numerous aircraft resources with water and retardant to slow the rate of spread.
The Colony Fire grew from four acres to 72 acres overnight with zero percent containment.
The Paradise Fire is now approximately 32 acres in size with zero percent containment.

Numerous aircraft have been assigned to the fires over the last two days including an air attack, six air tankers, two Type 1 helicopters, two Type 2 helicopters, and one Type 3 helicopter. Two more helicopters have been ordered to assist with suppression. The parks have received assistance from the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management, and have resources coming from Yosemite National Park, with more assistance expected.
