Firefighters are starting to make progress against the Bootleg Fire, the largest wildfire burning right now in southern Oregon.
Crews there are starting to scale back some of their night operations as weaker winds help slow down the spread. Firefighters have made great progress with containment lines.
While it's good news, there is still a lot of work to be done. The fire is still threatening homes and has already burned an area about half the size of Rhode Island.

About 800 people have been evacuated from their homes and at least 500 buildings are threatened.
Around 1,200 firefighters are trying to get this fire contained.
