Skys are solid smoke preventing airtankers from adding 'firepower' to the massive effort. A Red Flag Warning is in effect as the winds are expected to be worse. Acreage burned 58,885; containment is at 5%...no doubt do to more troops arriving on the ground. We've been fortunate though, 220 homes destroyed; no fatalities as in the Zogg fire to the north. Of the 8,100!! fires so far in CA this season, most of those still burning are 25-100% contained, actually a technical term: 100%: "still burning but cannot spread". The Glass/Shady/Boysen is the least contained and real progress generally is nil until 35% containment is achieved. With the Red Flag Alert, the winds are shifting back to WNW from the ocean; but also improving humidity at 20% which is an asset. Also the large DC-10 and airplane tankers are back at italong with the 'copters; even as ground-crew #s are increasing...currently 2500.
