Fire otheir progress, but say they dealt with issues on the east side of the fires throughout the afternoon yesterday. 7 00 last night, the lnu lightning complex has burned nearly 550 square miles, and is 25 contained. 908 buildings are destroyed. 248 are damage.

Getting into the afternoon for air quality, unhealthy for sensitive groups. North bay in the San Francisco coastline and through the center bay and east
