## Resource

The Seven Cabins Fire now spans over 29,500 acres, but containment has jumped to 53%—thanks to a smart controlled burn strategy aimed at clearing brush on steep slopes to stabilize soil and prevent flash floods. With 800+ firefighters on scene, crews are leveraging cooler, cloudy weather and scattered thunderstorms to slow the fire’s spread—though lightning remains a risk. Smoke persists, but stays localized; the Capitan Mountain area remains closed with stage one restrictions and a no-fly zone in place. Evacuation statuses are still active, and drivers must stay vigilant as crews remain fully operational. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
