I expect it will, but that’s what I was attempting to ascertain.
When ~1391 acres was spotted by infra-red and reported locally at 2:47 a.m. At that time the fire had “no known containment.” Yesterday there was a strong NW wind ca. the NV / CA line, but today winds are shifting… coming from NE, though not as strong. Expecting shifting lines.

The terrain is very rocky in that area, tough country for dozers, it’ll be a crew show to hold it. The winds come up every afternoon , especially when the Central Valley is hot. If they get enough resources today, they have a decent chance at holding it, but it’ll be tough work all day.
