20 acres, 100% contained

It is always amazing to me how they will divert aircraft from a fire that is burning structures (Marsh) to a fire, Patterson, that is burning grass and very little chance of burning anything other than grass, probably valued a $20 an acre, only because the paradigm is the new fire gets the aircraft priority to keep it small. No other thought goes into it than that.
