This fire is about to become somewhat tragic as it appears a good many structures may soon be consumed based upon various comments over the radio. The box for this fire is about to get a lot bigger given the sorts of retreats by firefighters that are taking place right now. This fire is chasing firefighters on multiple fronts and based upon satellite imagery and Hotlist postings the nearbyChips Fire has been lost again with the heading getting away from firefighters again.
