Will tran live in gilroy this morning. He has the latest for us will. Good news to pass along even though the fire continues to burn we did get an update from cal fire this morning and they did say the numbers remain the same it still 20 containment but more importantly the acreage remains at 5400 so i did not grow in the overnight hours and more importantly did not explode in the overnight hours.
