Most of the perimeter of the Oak Fire northeast of Mariposa, California was quiet on Wednesday, with the exception of the north and northeast sides where it has continued to spread. Firefighters have constructed firelines in those areas, some of them indirect, and are making progress. It has moved one to two miles into the footprint of the 2018 Ferguson Fire.
