Watching the footage from the copters, looks like the fire is holding on the dirt road that runs from the end of Apela drive to the settling ponds to the west. Retardant is starting to turn the corner there, not sure where the retardant line runs to on the East side.

Fire has jumped Highway 74 near the horseshoe bend, and dry creek.
This would be where McGaugh Road meets the 74, its burning east on both sides of the road.

Drawn from today’s extensive aerial news footage. Left flank is decently accurate, right flank was not their focus so it’s more of a wag. 3,500 acres per the news, 6k acres drawn there.

Per AA, from AA51 5,039 acres from the IR mapping.
The fire is chewing through the retardant in some places.
AA310 is suggesting maybe ordering a 2nd night flying helicopter for the evening, though it may be too late to do so.
