Sunday Morning MP97 Fire Update: Fire Now Over 11k Acres with 586 Structures Threatened

The Milepost 97 fire grew a little over 2k acres over the past day. It expanded in almost every direction along its perimeter including starting a couple of spot fires that crossed over to the east side of I-5. This was caused by shifting winds and crews immediately responded to the spot fires. Steep terrain, hazardous winds and low humidity continue to make this a very difficult fire. In the fire perimeter image, the dark red/orange area around the edge of the fire represents most of the expansion in size over the past day. A community fire information meeting will take place tonight, July 28th, at Glendale High School at 7pm. More updates will be coming soon.
