Looks like the firefighters are holding the line East of Tuolumne at Paper Cabin Ridge. Fire only spread by about 4,000 acres today compared with massive increases where the fire doubled and tripled in size on previous days. The fire is currently 129,629 acres with 7% containment. Fire seems to be growing the most on the Southeast - away from Tuolumne City and Twain Harte. Our pastor lives in Ponderosa Pines, right off of Tuolumne Road, and they were under orders to evacuation yesterday. Today they were told that they could go home.
My favorite maps are at:

These maps are Wildfire maps and they are updated by satellite every 6 hours. Select the Rim Fire. These maps show hot spots. The bright yellow hot spots are the most recent. You can click on the hot spots to see when they were posted which helps you see where the fire is spreading and where the fire is easing up because there are no new hot spots.
