The York fire, which began in the Mojave National Preserve and spread into Nevada over the weekend, is 0% contained.
The fire had scorched 77,000 acres as of early Monday, with 0% containment. After, the blaze has spread across the Mojave National Preserve in eastern San Bernardino County and into western Nevada. No evacuations have been issued as a result of the fire, which is burning in remote areas.
After a challenging weekend of high winds that sparked dangerous fire whirls and hot temperatures, better conditions appeared to be in store Monday, said Stephanie Bishop, a National Park Service public information officer and spokesperson for the York fire. The weather overnight had improved, with winds that were not as strong, which allowed for some groundwork around the blaze, she said.
The blaze ignited last week in the New York Mountains in the Mojave National Preserve in eastern San Bernardino County and spread into Nevada on Sunday afternoon.
