The Horseshoe Fire was a wildfire that burned 4,537 acres (1,836 ha; 7 sq mi; 18 km) in Inyo County in California. The fire began on October 30, 2024, and the cause is currently under investigation.

Progression

The fire started near Horseshoe Meadows Road, southwest of Lone Pine at around 1:00 p.m. on October 30, 2024.

By November 10, the fire had reached 6.4 acres (2.6 ha) and remained 0% contained, due to steep, inaccessible terrain.

On November 14, the fire was marked 100% contained at 7 acres due to heavy rain and precipitation over the fire.

On the night of November 22, the fire flared up again due to high, erratic winds in the fire area and had grown to approximately 3,000 acres by November 23. By this time, evacuations were issued all the way up to Lone Pine.
