FIRE BEHAVIOR: The fires have shown a low to moderate spread, with slow and creeping fire behavior. When the wind kicks up, the fires kick up. Currently, the wind has died down slightly across our unit. Fire crews are working as quickly as they can to suppress these fires now, as the winds are expected to pick up this evening.
