The Monroe Canyon Fire, burning for nearly three weeks now, has torched more than 57,000 acres. Firefighters have worked around the clock to protect homes and contain the fire. A combination of crews on the ground and aircraft in the air has helped slow its spread, but as of Saturday morning, only about 4% of it was contained.
“We got lucky that even with the crazy winds, which we have had for eight days in a row here now, we have got some wins on the fire yesterday,” said Jess Clark, a public information officer.
