Closure of Tioga Road West of Yosemite Creek Picnic Area. Structure
defense around Aspen Valley by ground and aerial resources was occurring
in the afternoon. An evacuation advisory continues for areas on the
Highway 108 corridor from Tuolumne City to Pinecrest. A Forest Closure
is in effect for locations near, and in, advance of the fire. Several
locations on the west side of Yosemite National Park have had closures
implemented as a result of the fires spread. Contingency planning,
indirect line construction and preparation to the east of Highway 108.
Access and difficult terrain remain concerns for crews and equipment.
