The Detwiler Fire south of Coulterville, California had been relatively quiet for several days, until Thursday when a spot fire took off outside the fireline near Lake McClure. It burned about 100 acres before firefighters could stop the spread. This brought the total size up to 81,650 acres.

These photos were provided by CAL FIRE. The helicopters were stationed at the helibase near Highway 49 north of Mariposa.
