Latest update
On August 8, 2024, the Canyon Fire started near Buchanan Road about a mile from Tuolumne City, California. The fire is within steep and rocky terrain in the North Fork of the Tuolumne River Canyon. Fire crews attacked the fire aggressively and utilized defensive burning to keep the fire from burning nearby homes. In the morning, air support helped keep the fire in check and after some initial growth, it has remained at about 85 acres for the past 36 hours.
The Canyon Fire is under unified command. CAL FIRE and the Stanislaus National Forest, have been fully engaged and coordinated to ensure firefighter and public safety. After all evacuation orders and warnings were lifted, the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office left the unified command on 8/11/2024.
The primary objective is to protect life and property.
