Forest roads remain closed in the area. No houses currently are threatened, but some nearby residents have been told to be ready to evacuate if necessary. Fire danger remains extreme, with triple-digit temperatures and lightning predicted for the weekend. Several firefighters have suffered heat-related injuries, ODF said in a news release. Seven engines, 28 hand crews, five helicopters and six retardant-dropping air tankers are fighting the fire. A total of 785 personnel have been assigned to the blaze.
