π¨ Incident Update β Inyo County π¨
Firefighters are working two separate vegetation fires in the Poverty Hills area, both sparked by multiple lightning strikes:
π₯ Fish Fire β 2 acres, 15% contained
π₯ Baxter Fire β 30 acres, 5% contained
Initially, both fires were being managed as a single incident. However, due to the time and distance between the lightning strikes, the second fire has been designated as a separate incident and named the Baxter Fire.
Crews will remain on scene through the evening to strengthen containment lines. Aircraft are expected to return in the morning for reconnaissance flights.
