Incident Overview

charred ground, mountains, lake, sky

The Inn Fire started on Thursday May 22, 2025 at approximately 3:36 p.m. on the west side of Highway 395, just south of Mono City. Erratic winds caused the fire to grow quickly and spot across the east side of Highway 395. A full suppression response was ordered by fire management, including firefighting aircraft. Highway 395 was immediately closed in both directions for safety and for the threat and impacts to power lines. 

Evacuation orders were issued for Mono City, then Lundy Canyon after, with evacuation order downgraded to a warning at 9 p.m. on May 24. 

The fire was called 100% contained at 6:00 p.m. on June 4.

Closure information:

Significant Events

Minimal, smoldering

Outlook

Planned Actions
Patrol for any smoldering remaining hot spots, continue to assess effectiveness of completed suppression efforts.
Projected Incident Activity
Minimal smoldering and hot spots may continually put up visible smokes as firefighters work to control this fire in a peat-soil component which continues to hold heat near containment lines.
Remarks
Although the fire is 100% contained as of June 4, 2025, a season-ending precipitation event is needed to call this fire fully out.
This may not happen for several months due to the peat-heavy soil component that tends to hold pockets of heat for extended of periods of time.
