I looked at some of the weather conditions, the low humidities and wind sure don't help.
One area, I believe the House Draw Fire, was anticipating some precipitation Sunday afternoon/evening.
Hope that materializes and is close enough to your area to help
 
We got .3" of rain here yesterday. I'm not sure what happened in the fire zones.
The Flat Rock fire which devoured our friends ranch has been contained. They are still out there watching for hot spots in the cedar trees. Soon, like today, they will start hunting for the cattle that they didn't get moved before the fire. They did get all the horses to the corrals that are on the small part of the ranch and didn't burn up. The buildings, etc are on the other side of the RR tracks. The fire fighters did manage to keep the fire from jumping the RR tracks. If it had, all the buildings, corrals, etc would have burned up.

I heard a story that a rancher up by Birney, Mt was on a cruise. When they got home,
there was nothing left. It was all burned up.
