93000 acres and 38 percent containment. It burned up the Hell Hole Reservoir hydroelectric transformer last night.

 

Last update:

The fire is 89% contained now and expected to be fully contatined by the weekend.

Almost 100,000 acres burned... 4 times the size of the cleveland fire.

 

Were many homes destroyed our just wild land?

 

For the size of the fire, not many. I don't recall exactly but about 20 or so. There are extensive networks of flumes (made out of wood) and other infrastructure supporting hydorelectric and water transfer that was destroyed.
