That what we saw over the first couple of hours, the first couple of days look at this that fog is a wonderful they will take it every time because it cools things down it brings moisture to the area rises the humidity. A raises the humidity and that is helping firefighters take to the air that they plan to drop another 256,000 gallons of water down to the fire. Still 19 containment so that did not go up. As far as the acreage its 80,138 acres and that is only about a 1000 more than it was yesterday at this time.
