Oliver Fire Report - Continuing

Another update from the Forest Service Daily Situation Report. This was written yesterday, the 24th, so I don't yet know if anything has happened overnight. The best piece of news in the report, I will highlight with orange.

A small update from the Fresno Bee reports that the Westfall Fire is 100% contained, the Silver Knob Fire of Ahwahnee is 60% contained, and the Oliver Fire is still raging, although no structures have yet to be damaged as of this morning. (update 12:05 06-25-08)
