#SlideFire Burns 7,500 Acres, Is 5 Percent Contained

Sarah Dolliver‎

The Slide Fire continues to grow but, according to reports, is 5 percent contained. So far, there have been no reports of injuries or structures lost. There are some 900 firefighters and personnel working hard to contain the fire, so let’s keep them in our thoughts as they continue to fight this awful fire. Right now, it looks like increased moisture and the possibility of rain tomorrow may help give firefighters an edge; unfortunately, lightning strikes could cause other fires or pose a danger to crews.
