Yogi Fire Update 06/14/2022 7:30am

Size: 100 acres

Containment: 85%

Cause: Debris Burning

Containment on the Yogi Fire has grown to 85% and acreage has grown to 100 due to better mapping from aircraft using GPS, the fire has not progressed since the previous update. During assessments last night a second outbuilding was confirmed lost making the total non-residential structures lost 2. The fire was staffed overnight with local resources, and unified command with State resources will continue today. The fire will be staffed today with TAMFS heavy equipment and engines from Smithville, San Angelo, local fire departments, and a hand crew from the Elk Creek Suppression Module (Colorado).

Plans for the next operational period are to hold and improve containment lines and mitigate hazard trees near the line using heavy equipment. Aircraft will be used when necessary for reconnaissance flights and suppression. Engines and the hand crew mod will perform heavy mop up operations to mitigate hot spots in the fire perimeter. 

Fire danger will be high Tuesday. A breezy, hot, and dry afternoon is expected. Morning clouds will give way to afternoon sunshine. Relative humidity values should remain above 25% but winds will be quite gusty today, out of the SSE at 10-20 mph, gusting 25-30 mph at times.
