Update!
3,100 acres burned. 229 homes lost. 55% contained. Big problem tomorrow (6/28) is wind. Forcast is 25-35 mph, if it hits 40 mph firefighters will loose it. Big problem is that the fire is "crowning". Means that the fire is burning the tops of the pines and jumping from tree top to tree top. Firefighters cannot fight this. It's not a ground fire. If the winds hit again, this will be a wild fire. The fire is in California but there are plenty of Nevada firefighters participating.
