Apple fire remains at 30% contained; full containment could come Aug. 17

The Apple fire burning in the San Bernardino National Forest was 30% contained and had consumed 28,085 acres of timber, chaparral and tall grass as of Thursday morning.
Firefighters estimate full containment on Aug. 17. Containment is when firefighters create and hold a fire break around the perimeter of a wildfire. The break can be created by natural means, such as a stream or a river or roads and freeways, or by firefighters digging lines around the fire with bulldozers and hand tools.
