Silver Fire Vegetation Fire Inyo County

INYO COUNTY, Calif. — A rapidly spreading vegetation fire, identified as the Silver Fire, ignited earlier today near the Laws Museum, prompting urgent evacuation orders and road closures in the area.

Emergency crews have mobilized to combat the blaze, which has grown swiftly, necessitating additional resources. The situation has been complicated by extreme turbulence that has prevented OES INTEL 24 from conducting aerial reconnaissance, limiting efforts to assess the fire’s full impact.

Authorities have urged residents and travelers in the surrounding areas to remain vigilant and adhere to all evacuation orders for their safety. “It’s critical for everyone in the vicinity to stay informed and follow official instructions,” said local emergency management officials.

Updates regarding the fire’s progression and evacuation details are being disseminated through Inyo County’s emergency website and the Mono County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page. As the fire continues to move northward, authorities are closely monitoring its behavior and are prepared to implement further measures if necessary.

Residents are also reminded to avoid affected areas to ensure their safety and facilitate the work of emergency responders. “Every person’s cooperation is vital in these kinds of situations,” emphasized an Inyo County spokesperson.
