Incident Overview

charred ground, mountains, lake, sky

The Inn Fire started on Thursday May 22, at approximately 3:36 p.m. on the west side of Highway 395, just south of Mono City. Erratic winds caused the fire to grow quickly and spot across the east side of Highway 395. A full suppression response was ordered by fire management, including firefighting aircraft. Highway 395 was quickly closed in both directions for safety and for the threat and impacts to power lines. Evacuation orders were issued approximately one half hour after the fire started for Mono City, then Lundy Canyon after. 

Breaking fire updates will be posted on the Inyo National Forest Facebook page:(filter for full road closures).

Significant Events

Minimal, smoldering

Outlook

Planned Actions
Mop-up, patrol and continue suppression line repair.
Projected Incident Activity
Minimal smoldering and hot spots may continually put up visible smokes as firefighters work to control this fire in a peat-soil component which continues to hold heat near containment lines.
Remarks
Although the anticipated containment date is June 4, 2025, a season-ending precipitation event is needed to call this fire fully out.
This may not happen for several months due to the peat-heavy soil component that tends to hold pockets of heat for extended of periods of time.
