This, from the most recent incident report (from inciweb.org) on the Oak Glen Fire,

Fire burned aggressivley throughout the night. Relative Humidity recovered some during the night and began to drop back down around 0300 hours. Fire is fuels and topography driven.

Aggressive fire fighting and air attack made good progress on the fire. Poor humidity recovery and heavy, old fuels have promoted active burning during the night and significant increase in acreage. Coordination with Sheriff on evacuation continues as needed.

Road Closures--Oak Glen Road from Casa Blanca Street to Wildwood Canyon Road. Large animals can be taken to the Yucaipa Equestrian Center 13273 California Road. For animal emergencies related to the fire, call San Bernardino County Animal Control 1-800-472-5609.
