On Sunday, July 31, 2011, Yosemite National Park experienced several lightning caused fires. Several fires were suppressed and one fire, the Avalanche Fire, is currently being managed for multiple objectives. The fire is located in the Avalanche Creek drainage, near the Glacier Point Road, within designated wilderness. The fire is currently at 715 acres and continues to be managed for multiple objectives, including resource values, community protection, and firefighter safety. Yosemite experienced higher than average precipitation during the 2010-11 winter season. The spring and summer season has been relatively cool, providing high fuel moistures, and continued late snowmelt. These conditions provide opportunities for Yosemite Fire Crews to treat hazardous fuels in the park. https://www.nps.gov/yose/learn/news/avalanchefire1.htm
