The fire is located off Strawderman Road, which is near Lost River State Park and west of Route 259. Crews are actively working to protect homes in the area.
Shifting winds Tuesday afternoon and a steady breeze are a concern with an expected uptick and wind gusts between 20-30 mph later Tuesday evening.

Wednesday and Thursday will be First Alert Weather Days due to severe thunderstorm potential, high winds expected and an isolated tornado threat.
