Yogi Fire Final Update 06/15/2022 7:30am

Size: 123 acres

Containment: 95%

Cause: Debris Burning

The Yogi Fire is now at 123 acres due to more accurate mapping with 95% containment. This fire is transitioning to monitor and patrol status to ensure no holding issues occur. The fire will be staffed by engine crews, The Elk Creek Mod, and local resources today. On Tuesday, crews made good progress mopping up heat and felling trees that could pose a risk to falling over containment lines. Resources were pulled from the Yogi Fire Tuesday afternoon to the Abbey Knob Fire in Bastrop County, which has now been contained at 1.83 acres. Heavy mop up will continue to ensure hot spots are extinguished on Wednesday. An IR drone flight will be conducted on Thursday to check for hidden heat in the fire that could threaten containment. 

Good humidity recovery overnight will linger into this morning. In the afternoon clouds will clear and fire weather will return. High will be near 98 with heat index values of 102.
