Summing up some more about the Canyon Country fire:

12,500 acres burned. 10% contained.
400 firefighters on ground now. More expected tomorrow.
Three civilians injured.
One firefighter injured.

Every school in the area is closed.

Trying to save as many structures as possible.
Still doing water drops but on individual firefighter volunteer basis only.
Fire is hopscotching from one neighborhood to the next.

Sustained winds have slowed down a bit, but gusty winds continue.

Tomorrow at 7 a.m., winds expected to be 80-100 mph.
Winds expected to reduce somewhat Tuesday morning but no real slowdown until Thursday through the weekend.
