Smoke rolled into Tuolumne yesterday. Is this a result of prescribed burns or is there a new fire somewhere?

A small fire just down valley and on the opposite side from El Cap was going Saturday am. By Sunday am it was producing a fair amount of smoke as we were leaving (about 9am). Could be the culprit.

Yosemite National Park Fire Managers are planning a series of prescribed fires in the park. The prescribed burns would start in mid-October however they are dependent on weather and fuel conditions. Shorter days and cooler temperatures provide fire managers optimal prescribed burning conditions.

The Taft Toe project is the first of the scheduled prescribed fires. The project is located along Southside Drive between El Capitan Bridge and the Sentinel Beach picnic area. The total prescribed burn area will include 111 acres and is expected to last two to three days.
