The fire is directly above the Ponderosa bridge. As far as I know Mineral bar, Yankee Jim's and Confluence aren't affected, aside from being smokey. I believe Ponderosa road is closed.
I was out at the Bear river yesterday when the fire kicked off. They were hitting it hard with the tankers and helicopters. A ton of them going over all afternoon.
On the way back down 80 I passed the fire. Passed a flat bed with a bulldozer, another flatbed with one of those giant grader thingies, then a flatbed with a tank! Yes, a tank. With a gun on it. Looks like the firefighters are getting serious with this one!
 

It would be nice if they would catch the person firing flameballs out of their car and toe string them from the nearest overpass.
 

We were planning to go upriver from Yankee jims Saturday. Postponing the trip till later, probably lots of smoke.
 

Winds gusting to 40mph tomorrow. The crews are hustling today to get it controlled. A prayer for their safety.
