Limited and difficult access continue to plague firefighters. Aircraft and ground resources concentrated on the north end of the fire while working to hold fire lines along and off of the Hwy 128 corridor. The predicted south winds did develop late in the afternoon causing the fire to spot over the line in the northwest section of the fire. Ground crews as well as aircraft continue to work aggressively to extinguish the slop over. This goes to show the volatility of this fire and the potential for growth that might occur.

August 3, 2016 at 8:06 AM

The fire’s growth slowed overnight as winds decreased. The fire is burning in grass and oak woodlands with limited access and difficult access.  As the fire continues to progress, PG&E high voltage lines remain threatened along the Hwy 128 corridor.
