The map above shows Gifford’s evacuation area in red and the approximate fire perimeter as a black line. Shown as a gray tone is the perimeter of last month’s Madre Fire, previously the biggest fire of the year; it burned 80,779 acres in the Carrizo Plain area, just east of Gifford.

Firefighters continue to increase containment over the more than 100,000 acres burned by the Gifford Fire as of Saturday morning in San Luis Obispo County. At 104,402 acres, the fire was now 21% contained, according to an update to Inciweb.

Gifford Fire officials report minimal growth overnight after a rapid expansion of the fire on the northwest side on Thursday.
