Friday afternoon and evening the forecast is for strong winds, low humidity, and a high chance of lightning.
Combined with the high temperatures, the conditions could very well see a spread of the blaze as well as the start of new fires.
Nearly sixteen hundred firefighters and eighteen aircraft are working to make sure that the fire doesn't spread any further.
At this point there is zero containment and authorities admit that some of the areas might not be fully extinguished for months.
The West Fork Complex Fire comprises of three fires: Papoose, West Fork, and Windy Pass.
They have combined to burn more than ninety thousand acres and forced the evacuations of entire towns, with more on standby.
