It can grow two, three, four times what it is presently. This fire is not over. It is out of control. If it's 300,000 acres now, it's only going to get bigger.

This is grueling for the firefighters. We're getting tired.

It's still a concern because we want to stop this fire. At this point there are no structures, no dwellings, no people at risk on the entire perimeter of the fire.

The fire's going to raise its head and get up and run today. We are very much not in control. Nature is in control.

With the fire spreading in so many directions it will be a long time before we can get it contained.

We didn't go up in our containment any. But the feeling is that with these thunderstorm developments ... that we need one more day to go up on that containment.
