Even though firefighters have watched the fire grow fire officials say they've had a lot of successes in saving homes and properties of people who live in the fire area.
Fire officials say winds over the weekend fueled the fire and pushed it in a northeast direction toward Highway 410 and west toward Bumping River Road.
A press release from the US Forest Service says it's burning in heavy, brush, timber and snags which pose big problems for firefighters who want to get close to the fire.
State officials say the closure applies to DNR-managed state lands conservation areas, community forests and any associated roads, trails, campgrounds, recreational sites or recreational facilities.
