Fire crews are still working to contain a week-old wildfire that has destroyed 51 homes and 26 outbuildings.
Mick Mueller with the Incident Management Team says full containment of the Taylor Bridge Fire likely won’t happen until Friday.
“We’re at 90 percent containment at 23,450 acres,” says Mueller.
Mueller says steep terrain and gusty winds are complicating their efforts.
The Emergency Operations Center says with a 90 percent assessment done they estimate the damage at $8.3 million in property loss.
