Out of control fire....

Just got back home, took a drive over that direction. Spent some time talking to the manger of all the farm fields. He said its progress towards us, eastward, has been just stopped for now. We had some rain a couple of weeks ago, the undergrass in the area is wet so the fire can't get running like it did the day before. The field separating the Little Falls dam area, where it is burning now and my direction is still green....he said the fire was very lazy today thanks to the moisture. It is about 5 miles from us at this point. He was told that the aircraft will be up at first light...which is good because the area where it is at is extremely difficult to get to. He told me that on Sunday, when it jumped the river it was frightening. They heard it coming. And there was no stopping it as it was getting pushed by a 30mph tailwind. He was told that it was started by a farmer working on a combine out in his field...
