Inn Fire Update – May 27, 2025 

Firefighters continue to increase containment on the Inn Fire, which is now 54% contained as of last night. Containment has been secured along the entire east side of Highway 395 and parts of the west side, where firefighters have completed dozer and handlines. In the remaining uncontained areas, crews are working in extremely steep and rugged terrain to establish a secure perimeter. 

Crews are also focused on mop-up operations, which involve working at least 100 feet inward from the fire's edge. During mop-up, firefighters use water and hand tools to stir the ground and cool any remaining heat. This process ensures that hidden embers or hotspots are fully extinguished, reducing the risk of flare-ups and helping to strengthen containment lines. 

To further reduce risk in an extremely dry field on the northeast side of the fire, a sprinkler system is being utilized to keep the area moist and help prevent any potential flare-ups. 

In some parts of the fire, crews have also begun backhauling equipment—removing hose and other fireline tools that are no longer needed—as containment efforts increase. 

Firefighters remain actively engaged in increasing containment, continuing to mop-up, patrol, and secure the fireline. 

As of May 25, Highway 395 has reopened. Drivers are advised to use caution and remain alert for fire personnel and equipment working in the area. 

Please continue to monitor updates from CalTrans District 9 and the Mono County Sheriff’s Office for the latest information on road status and evacuation guidance. Thank you for your continued support of the hardworking crews on the fireline.

Evacuation status reduced for the Cody Fire 

Containment increases as crews mop-up and address suppression repair needs 

May 27, 2025 

Acres: 1,223  
Start Date: May 21, 2025 
Location: Oracle, AZ  
Cause: Under Investigation 
Personnel: 573  
Fuels: Grass, brush, and timber 
Containment: 90% 

Highlights: Thanks to the tireless efforts and strong collaboration among incident crews and partner agencies, the Cody Fire is now 90% contained. Suppression repair efforts are underway to restore areas impacted by firefighting operations and prepare the landscape for long-term recovery. 

As residents begin returning to their homes, we ask you to remain alert. Please travel cautiously as firefighters and incident crews are still actively engaged in the area. Additionally, while the fire threat has diminished, hot, dry conditions continue, and awareness is still essential. Dust devils are picking up ash from the ground and look like a smoke column. This may continue until monsoon rains arrive. 

Fire Activity: Yesterday, crews were actively engaged in patrolling the fire perimeter, reinforcing containment lines and mopping up remaining heat sources. Today, personnel remain strategically positioned across the fire area, continuing to secure fireline around the perimeter and support ongoing mop-up operations.  

Structure impacts and suppression repair assessments are nearly complete and utility providers are conducting essential repairs to powerlines in and around communities. 

Evacuations: Updated evacuation orders are in place to ensure public safety. Effective Monday evening, Zone 18 in the Oracle area is in SET status. Zone 17 has been downgraded with no further restrictions. 
 
Weather: The region will experience a steady increase in temperature today and through the week, reaching upper 80s-low 90s, with single-digit humidity levels. 

Safety: Incident responders and utility crew traffic continue across the fire area. For public and firefighter safety, please avoid the area to allow incident personnel to work to respond to firefighting and suppression repair needs.  

Road Closures: The following roads are closed - Cody Loop and Wildcat Trail; Cody Loop and MT Lemmon Hwy (East End). More information is available at https://az511.gov.   

Fire Restrictions and Closures: Closures are in effect and Stage 2 Fire Restrictions are issued for the Coronado National Forest, which includes recreational shooting (https://www.fs.usda.gov/r03/coronado/alerts). Stage 2 restrictions are also in effect on State Trust Lands in southern/southeastern Arizona (wildlandfire.az.gov).  

The fire area is under Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs); if you fly a drone near the fire area, our aircraft will be grounded.

CAMP HOUSE AND JENKINS CREEK FIRES UPDATE:

Tuesday, May 27, 2025

CAMP HOUSE FIRE

Size: 12,071 acres 

Location: Brimson, MN 

Personnel: 184

Start Date: 05/11/2025 Containment: 90% 

Cause: Under investigation

Suppression repair continues across the fire area, with a concentrated effort around Camp House. Priority is being given to locations where repair activities can help protect ecologically significant wild rice lakes. Wild rice is highly sensitive to changes in water levels and water quality, thriving only under specific chemical and ecological conditions. As an indicator species for aquatic health and a critical food source for migrating waterfowl, protecting these habitats is a key objective in the repair process. Crews are actively recontouring dozer lines by redistributing mounded soil and returning displaced vegetation to disturbed areas. These actions promote faster recovery of native plant communities and help prevent the spread of invasive species. Native vegetation is more effective at stabilizing soil, reducing the risk of sediment runoff into nearby lakes, and helping to preserve water quality for sensitive ecosystems like wild rice habitats. Tomorrow, the Camp House Fire will be turned back over to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for continued management.

JENKINS CREEK FIRE

Size: 16,089 acres

Location: T57N R13W Section 3

Personnel: 249

Start Date: 05/12/2025

Containment: 84%

Cause: Human-caused

Crews continue making progress on the Jenkins Creek Fire, focusing on mop-up and patrol, hazard tree removal, log hauling, and road repair. Work is advancing from the southern perimeter and moving westward around the fire’s edge. Fire suppression efforts and the use of heavy equipment have impacted many forest roads, contributing to erosion, drainage issues, and safety concerns. Repairs are essential for restoring safe access, reducing hazards, and supporting long-term recovery and future forest use. The National Incident Management Organization (NIMO) team has begun arriving and is coordinating with the Eastern Area Incident Management Team to ensure a smooth transition before assuming command of both the Jenkins Creek and Horse River Fires at 6 a.m. on Wednesday. NIMO will assume command of both the Jenkins Creek and Horse River Fires at 7 a.m. on Wednesday. Horse Creek is burning within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, northeast of the Jenkins Creek Fire. With added capacity and experience in complex terrain, NIMO is well-positioned to manage both fires.

Inn Fire Update – May 26, 2025

Efforts to contain the Inn Fire continue to show steady progress. The fire is now 31% contained, with containment line established along the fire’s edge on the east side of Highway 395. On the northern edge and west of Highway 395, containment work is underway, with completed dozer line extending west from the highway until the terrain becomes too steep for dozers to operate. Crews are continuing handline construction and utilizing hose lays to extinguish remaining heat and secure the fire perimeter.

Yesterday, helicopters were used to drop water on hot spots in the steep terrain on the west side of the fire. Last night marked the final shift for night operations; however, the fire area will continue to be patrolled.

Although overall fire behavior remains minimal, primarily creeping and smoldering, firefighters are working in steep, rugged terrain where rollout (the movement of burning material downslope) remains a concern. Rollout can lead to new ignitions below control lines, so crews are staying vigilant and prioritizing safety. Winds last night tested containment lines, but the fire remained within its footprint attesting to the dedicated work of firefighters and the strength of established containment efforts

Smoke may still be visible, especially from interior pockets during the heat of the day, as crews work to strengthen lines and deepen containment.

As of last night May 25, Highway 395 has reopened. Drivers are advised to use caution and remain alert for fire personnel and equipment working in the area.

Please continue to monitor updates from CalTrans District 9 and the Mono County Sheriff’s Office for the latest information on road status and evacuation guidance.

Start Date: May 22, 2025

Planned Operations: Eight firefighters are on the fire, looking at opportunities to support suppression activities. The fire continues to creep and smolder. Firefighter and public safety remain the top priority, along with wilderness values, and cultural values. Public safety wilderness rangers continue to patrol the area assisting the public in fire awareness. Tonight, a National Incident Management Organization team will be arriving to take command of both the Jenkins Creek Fire and the Horse River Fire.

National Weather Service Forecast: Today-A chance of sprinkles between 1pm and 2pm, then a slight chance of showers after 2pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 70. Southeast wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. Tonight- A chance of sprinkles before 7pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 41. Southeast wind around 5 mph becoming calm after midnight. Tomorrow- Mostly sunny, with a high near 70. Calm wind becoming southeast around 5 mph in the afternoon.

Closures: An Emergency Forest Closure Order is in process to close the Winter Route Trail (mushing trail) between Jackfish Bay and Lower Basswood Falls. Paddlers in the area are advised to stay away from the area for their own safety. Currently, Basswood River and Horse River travel routes are open. Campsites on the Basswood River are still open. For public safety, the public should move directly through the area and be aware that conditions could change. Continue to follow the fire’s Inciweb page for current incident fire details and updates.

Air Operations: Aircraft are available and may be brought in to help support the fire. A reminder - flying drones over the fire is prohibited. If drones are detected near the fire, any air operations supporting the fire will stop. Drones are illegal in federally designated wilderness areas. 

Overview: On May 22, 2025, aircraft detected smoke east of the Horse River, within a remote part of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Initial acreage was estimated at 5-10 acres, with 2-4’ flame lengths. Fire management staff identified the strike tree on a ridgetop where lightning struck, initiating the wildfire. The fire is burning in a mixed boreal forest with conifer (pine trees), and hardwood trees like birch and aspen. Blowdown is limited in the area. Ground access is very poor; safety of firefighters and the public are the top priorities.
