fire has jumped 78, ff gone to try and protect wynola, trying to keep it from jumping the hwy (again) setting back fires earlier on there. not sure what the camera angle is on Fox news 6 showing the downtown, but smoke is blowing horizontally from right to left of the screen. Pete breaking in interview with hire hasn't gone over ridge yet, sounded like they're preparing to foam the whole are soon. fire seemed to flare up, chopper has been really helped. Working with folsum prison and other areas to try and stop it, and keep escape route open. wink directionis actually helping them right now, I guess blowing the fire away from the downtown area.

reporting 10,000 people working the Cedar fire (not all ff) cedar fire, 250+ thousand acres, Julian 100 engines, 10 strike teams. saying some homes on hill may have to be sacraficed if they have to set back fires. Lot of trees, concerned that if they set back fires, may have wind blow it around more than is acceptable, may end up hurting the town. Putting a lot of their hopes on air support.

fire did jump 78 at wynola, but that's still the way out. ff said they are going to take 79 out, but residents need to take the 78 north out. (from CHP) nate harrison grade closed to Palomar. entire nate harrison grade is closed
