Yosemite National Park's Dome Fire burns over 1,100 acres
The Dome Fire in Yosemite National Park has grown rapidly, burning between 1,177 and 1,200 acres as of Wednesday. The vegetation fire ignited near the Wawona Dome in Mariposa County and is moving at a moderate rate toward the north and northeast through timber, brush, and shrubs.
As of the latest reports, the fire has 0% containment. While the blaze poses no immediate threat to developed areas or infrastructure, and no evacuations have been ordered, several trails have been closed. These include the Chilnualna Falls trail and routes leading toward Buena Vista and Crescent Lakes. Yosemite National Park remains open and operating normally outside of these specific closures.
Firefighting crews are working to establish fire lines and gain containment, though steep terrain has presented challenges for direct efforts. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
