Pika Fire
Location: Just west of North Dome
Elevation: 7,100 feet
Discover date: June 29, 2023
Size: 4 acres
Cause: Lightning
Yosemite Fire crews are scouting the fire to implement a confine and contain strategy utilizing natural barriers and trails. The fire has slow growth, with some isolated active pockets northwest of North Dome.
A confine and contain strategy under favorable conditions allows fire to move naturally across the landscape, providing ecological benefits to plants and wildlife, while also meeting protection objectives to minimize risk to people and infrastructure.
