Smoke impacts are much reduced from the Carstens Fire as
containment reaches 60%. 

Communities in Mariposa and Madera counties and Yosemite National
Park were impacted by heavy smoke in the first few days of the
Carstens Fire in the Sierra National Forest.

As a result, Mariposa County and the San Joaquin Valley Air
District requested ARB deploy monitors to measure wildfire smoke
in Bootjack, Oakhurst, Mariposa, and Bass Lake. The highest smoke
concentrations have been occurring from midnight to 6am in all
locations as smoke settles into low laying areas overnight. Day
time averages have been moderate or better.
