Here is the status of the fires that I wrote about last week from the CAL FIRE incident information page, e.g. the information on the Coco Fire has been updated since the May 16th CAL FIRE situation report:

• The Coco Fire has burned 1,995 acres and is 89 percent contained as of 8:05 AM on May 19th. I suspect, but am not certain, that the lower burned acreage is due to better mapping.
• The Poinsettia Fire has burned 600 acres and is 100 percent contained (last updated on May 17, 2014).
• The Bernardo Fire has burned 1,548 acres and is 100 percent contained (last updated on May 17, 2014).
