AA advised he hopes it will slow down at the ridge. Potential for a couple hundred acres.
The priority is the North side of 79 due to the structure threat. HWY 79 closed in both directions as well as Puaba Rd.
10 or so acres. Fire ran to the ridge and slopped over and is backing down the other side.
Per AA the fire is starting to lay down. Copter 305 assigned to this now from the Tornado.
15 acres and 100 % Contained.
