ABC7 News Meteorologist Drew Tuma tweeted this timelapse video showing the smoldering fire:
Firefighters have it under control, but the next concern is the time of year this is happening.
February is early in the year to be tracking wildfires.
If February remains dry, and if March is a soaker, we face the possibility of a really intense fire season.
