Penn Fire Update...40% Contained. Full Containment Expected July 28th. 134 Official Acres

Murphys, CA...The Penn Fire behaved quite well and as the case in some of these fires when the put water on them they sometimes shrink a bit. After the repeated soakings from the air and ground the acreage has dropped from 180 -200 down to 134 acres. The "Shrinkage" is actually just from after they finish accurate measurements of the fire. When this one was under full boil it certainly behaved like 180 - 200. Still assigned to the fire are 424 personnel, 35 engines, 19 fire crews, 5 bulldozers, 4 air tankers, 4 helicopters, 5 water tenders and more. Great work firefighters!! Your community thanks you and the full incident update is enclosed....

I can say for sure that the men and women at cal fire know how to work a fire. From the air and the ground, most of the time on a fire you don't see them. But you can be sure they work their tales off. Thanks so much for all the hard work!
