The fire remains at about 10 to 15 acres and has burned up a slope near Little Browns Creek. Its pace of spread is moderate to rapid, but according to the air craft monitoring the fire, firefighters are hoping to hold the fire as it crests the ridge. It's burning in brush and timber on the north side of the road.
