Fire managers have revised their estimate of the Beehive Fire to 3,121 acres after a more accurate size reading, officials confirmed late Sunday, June 29, 2026.
The updated figure replaces an earlier acreage count that managers determined wasn’t precise enough. It isn’t clear whether the fire grew between readings or whether the revision reflects a correction of the original measurement.
Background
Acreage revisions are common during active wildfires – aerial infrared mapping or updated ground-based perimeter data can shift estimates substantially in either direction, sometimes within hours. The change doesn’t necessarily mean the fire spread; it can mean crews got a cleaner look at the boundary.
What officials haven’t released publicly: containment percentage, the cause of the fire, whether any structures are threatened, or how many personnel are assigned to the line. Those figures typically come in morning situation reports.
No injuries have been confirmed at this time. The next operational update from fire managers hadn’t been posted as of Sunday night.
