Glass Fire: Firefighters hold line on Hwy 29 in Napa County
ANGWIN, Calif. (KGO) -- The Glass Fire continues to burn in Sonoma and Napa Counties. Firefighters had a bit of a better day yesterday, but winds are expected to pick up again.
This fire is still a huge threat and officials issued another evacuation order yesterday -- this one for the town of Angwin, east of Calistoga.
Firefighters set off a back fire near Highway 29 near Greenwood Avenue in Calistoga as they tried to push back on the fire -- it worked and the fire did not jump the road.

However, rising temperatures and gusty winds starting tomorrow will create critical fire weather conditions.
