There were two campers detained and were cooperative, said Furlong. There were up to eight individuals who were camping in the area who were taken off the hill.
The two who were detained were cooperative and provided statements. Charges, if any, would be filed by the U.S. Forest Service, which has jurisdiction of the land that is burning, said Furlong.

There remains concern of winds pushing the fire into other areas, said Slamon. There are currently firefighters staged at C-Hill and Kings Canyon areas.
