Fire officials said several additional miles of fire line, on the south and north sides of the fire were determined to be secure.
A Burned Area Emergency Response team has been evaluating the fire’s impact on water drains in the area. Well over 50% of the drain suffered severe fire effects.
The team is evaluating possible emergency actions that can be taken to ensure the safety of the residents of Cedar Creek and Carrizo.
