The fire started Sept. 15 near Chilnualna Falls, north of Wawona, and has since grown to more than 5,400 acres. As of Tuesday night, the fire was 39% contained, according to officials.
Cooler temperatures, higher humidity and rocky terrain have helped firefighters strengthen containment lines and slow the fire's spread this week, officials said. There were no roads, buildings or utilities under immediate threat.
Two helicopter crew members died in a crash while fighting the Dome Fire in Mariposa County nearly a week and a half ago.
