Delta winds were not nearly as strong as Wednesday's gale force winds that fueled the Grant Fire in the Byron area. Today, plenty of Cal Fire, as well as county and local fire crews, spent all day making sure nothing on the 500-acre burn area flared up again.
“There's still some fairly significant wind in the area, so we have units on patrol, units hitting some hot spots,” said Battalion Chief Ross Macumber of Alameda County Fire.
On Wednesday, fire crews contained and conquered seven different raging fires – a remarkable effort. “Everybody who worked yesterday did an outstanding job. They worked really hard, worked until late in the evening and were able to stop it where it was. It could have been a lot worse," said Macumber. Cal Fire announced Thursday evening the Grant Fire is fully contained at 484 acres.
