As of Saturday, July 13, 2024 at 645pm: 

The Hillside Fire is 100% contained at 818 acres. Two engines remain assigned to the incident to continue patrolling and monitoring the fire's perimeter. 

The fire was first reported Tuesday night, July 9, 2024, after a storm moved through the area.

Wednesday's high winds reignited the fire and significantly increased fire activity.
