#MillFire holding at 310 acres & 50% containment. Crews will continue reinforcing line & snuffing out hotspots within the perimeter. Air resources based at the Fort Hunter Liggett helibase are available to support crews on the ground until the fire is declared OUT.
The Herald's clickbait teaser sounds like the #MillFire threat is building when the official report from @inciweb is the opposite, including the phrase "Good recovery," which never makes it into their article. #cvrg16
Contrast 300 acres to 2016 when the #SoberanesFire on Day 18 was 60,400 acres but still only 45% contained.
It would eventually last 82 days and burn 132,127 acres, the third largest fire in Monterey County.
8/2 11 a.m. #MillFire significant events: "Fire behavior declined after midnight. Activity on the line decreased. Good recovery." Estimated containment date still Monday. #cvrg16
