This topography, coupled with the shifting winds, contributes greatly to the control problems. The predicted winds are on the mind of each and every firefighter, as well as local residents. Everybody's going to be on a high state of alert today according to Incident Commander Don Studebaker. The fire increased in activity within the perimeter due to lower humidities and higher winds yesterday. Structures remain threatened on the north and east end of the fire.
Efforts are to secure and establish direct line in critical areas.
