Garnet Fire Impacts to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks 

Park staff are closely monitoring the Garnet Fire, located north of the Kings River and northwest of the Cedar Grove and Grant Grove areas of Kings Canyon National Park. It is unlikely that the fire will spread south of the Kings River and cause any closures or evacuations within the park. However, significant smoke impacts are expected in the Cedar Grove and Grant Grove areas of Kings Canyon and the Lodgepole area of Sequoia over the next few days. Impacts will vary throughout the day. For current air quality conditions, visit www.airnow.gov.
