Late Friday night and into the early hours Saturday, Line Fire activity was moderated due to higher moisture levels. The fire did however continue to smolder and creep in dry vegetation, and it made occasional runs in drainages and along slopes. Saturday is expected to be mostly sunny and seasonably cool with poor visibility in the morning. The weather is expected to remain cool over the next several days which will continue to help moderate fire behavior. Firefighters are strengthening control lines and mopping up hot spots.

There are currently 56,100 structures threatened, including 11,400 under Evacuation Orders and 44,700 under Evacuation Warnings. Damage Inspection Teams (DINS) are working in the fire area. So far, they have identified 3 structures that were damaged and 1 that was destroyed. Their inspections include residences, multi-family dwellings, outbuildings, and commercial buildings.
