They explained on the news why they have reached 0% containtment of the fire. They are fighting the fire in "defensive mode" meaning, they are focused on saving structures (homes, etc) and not containment. They are anticipating two blackhawk helicopters to come in to help fight the fire.

There have been a lot of helicopters flying back and forth over our house all morning.
We have been so tired this morning that I haven't even made it outside to take pictures from the back porch.

We really appreciate everyone's prayers, thoughts, concerns and the many, many phone calls.

It is nice to know that we have places to store our things, our pets and us if worst comes to worst.
