The fire first started on Friday, strung out across several miles outside of Hoyt Lakes.

Around 2 to 3 homes, 6 to 8 cabins and an assisted living facility were swiftly evacuated, and though no structures were lost, the fire still continues to burn, and authorities are concerned about the change in wind.

The fire has burned through around 1000 acres, but is now 21 percent contained, and Authorities say they are hoping for some rain.

And though many of the residents in Hoyt Lakes have faith that authorities are managing the fire well, they are mentally preparing to leave if they need to.
