The park opted to confine and contain the fire. The people in photos are members of Yosemite's Wildland Fire Crew 1.

National Park Service

Wildland firefighters walk around fires in order to establish and map their extent. These firefighters used phone GPS units to map their walk around the fire's perimeter and share that information with an incident commander and park management.
