Neither the Rock Fire nor the Cinder Complex grew overnight. There was very little smoke visible across the Rock Fire area, though there were hot spots in Armstrong Canyon on the northwest side. Over on the Cinder Complex, heat remained along the outer perimeter of the fire. Engines and crews worked through the night patrolling the perimeter and cooling down hot spots.

Today, firefighters are focused on building and strengthening containment lines around the fires while continuing mop-up operations.

Expect southerly winds today through Monday with gusts reaching up to 15 mph, alongside dropping humidity levels. No thunderstorm activity is expected through Monday.
