Coffee Pot Fire (CAKNP)

Wildfire Status:

The Coffee Pot Fire, located southeast of Three Rivers, California, has grown to approximately 14,086 acres and is currently 79% contained. Fire activity has stabilized, with firefighters focusing on mopping up hot spots and reinforcing control lines, particularly in the northeastern section of the fire. Crews are actively working on the southern and western flanks to ensure that the fire remains within its established footprint. As of the latest update, the primary strategic control line is reported to be 96% effective, and 637 personnel are engaged in the firefighting efforts.

Current weather conditions are favorable, with a strong low-pressure system bringing cooler temperatures, increased humidity, and cloud cover, which is expected to moderate fire behavior. There is a slight chance of light rain today, with better precipitation chances anticipated later in the week. Air quality has improved significantly due to lower smoke production, with most areas experiencing good air quality, although Springville may see moderate impacts this morning.

Evacuation warnings have been issued for several zones within the vicinity, and residents are encouraged to stay informed through local resources. The Tulare County Fire Department has set up a public information point at the Three Rivers Village Market for daily updates. Additionally, recreational access to certain areas of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks remains closed due to the fire, although other park areas are open but may experience varying levels of smoke and air quality issues. Fire agencies continue to work diligently to suppress the fire while restoring impacted areas to prevent erosion and protect water quality.
