**Start Date/Time/Location** The Silver Fire ignited on March 30, 2025, at 2:11 PM near Highway 6 and Silver Canyon Road, north of Bishop in Inyo County[1][3][5]. **Size and Containment** As of April 1, 2025, the fire has burned 1,589 acres and is 47% contained[1]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire initially grew rapidly due to strong winds and terrain alignment, expanding significantly overnight from Sunday to Monday. Despite strong winds gusting up to 65 mph, firefighters managed to halt the forward progress of the fire on Monday, with moderate growth of about 340 acres before containment efforts took hold[1][2]. **Containment Efforts** Fire crews made significant progress on Monday, increasing containment from 0% to 47% by the evening. Efforts continue to bolster containment lines and monitor for hot spots, with air and ground resources significantly increased to support suppression efforts[1][3].
