Fire Capt. Mike Brown:

2,000 to 3000 people evacuated

75 acres burned

No reports of injuries

400 firefighters on scene.

4 new strike teams arrive

4 helicopters working

Total number of burned structures unclear.

"Most of the people have done a great job here of self-evacuating."

The concern with this fire is it's burning in inaccessible, rough terrain...

Brush is dense, dry

Fire has potential to run north, northeast. "Our focus is to keep the fire within the canyons."

Nine streets evacuated.

If you don't live in the area, stay out, he said.
