As of Sunday afternoon, the Holiday Farm Fire has been 5 percent contained and is approximately 161,826 acres, according to fire officials. There are 628 personnel assigned to the fire.

Officials say crews made progress along the Highway 126 corridor. They continued to improve fire protection for homes throughout the fire and executed mop up operations in the southwest portion of the fire, specifically in Goodpasture Loop and Deerhorn Road. 

With more resources in place, officials said fire crews have been able to construct direct control lines -- adjacent to the fire’s edge -- and indirect control lines, farther back from the fire’s edge. Firefighters also completed a successful burnout operation in the southwestern corner of the fire to establish a solid control line.
