Out-Of-Area Fires

I know what you mean diamond... G'Nite.

Anyone know what's going on over here? Having a hard time finding updates since this morning anywhere, abc7 news just had a short story indicating things were getting worse?

Thanks ...

Inciweb just updated:

Current Situation
Total Personnel 755
Size 420 acres
Percent Contained 60%
Estimated Containment Date 05/18/2008 at hrs.
Fuels Involved

Medium Brush with dry grass understory
Fire Behavior

Fire activity remained minimal and was limited to roll out and short runs back into the black.
Significant Events

Crews made good progress building direct fire line and cold trailing in steep rugged terrain.
Outlook
Planned Actions

There will be no night shift working the fire, engines will continue to patrol and monitor conditions and provide structue protection.
Projected Movement

A strong dome of high pressure will bring much warmer temperatures and very low RH's. This will allow more of the dead and down fuels to become available to support fire spread. Any movement of the incident will be minimal.
Growth Potential

Medium
Terrain Difficulty

Extreme
Remarks

Increase in fire size due in part to fire growth (30%) and better mapping (70%)
Weather
Current Wind Conditions 10 mph NE
Current Temperature 80 degrees
Current Humidity 15 %
