We're actually protecting structures in a variety of areas, some of them quite a ways from highways. Our primary focus is firefighter and public safety, and then the protection of private property and structures.
Without any break in the weather, this fire's going to continue for some time.
We have a weather forecast for higher winds, lower relative humidity, and high temperatures. Those conditions will move this fire very quickly in many different areas.
There are many miles of fire line that have never been visited by a firefighter.
