Fire officials said Thursday that when it comes to firefighting strategy and logistics, the fire has now been split into a north zone and a south zone due to its complexity.
In the north, crews have reportedly been able to hold the fire at Happy Canyon Road, while the Davy Brown area has had moderate fire behavior.
Meanwhile, much of the fire's growth has been in the southeast area.

(8:25 a.m.) - The Lake Fire burning near Los Olivos grew Thursday to 34,015 acres. Containment of the fire that broke out last Friday remains at 16 percent.
Fire officials report the flames crossed into an unplanned area on Wednesday but are being “tied back into the planned line.”
Winds are reportedly helping keep the fire from moving west toward ranches and nearby communities while firefighters work on the south and southeast sides of the fire to help control the spread into nearby communities.
“Crews will be continuing to improve primary and contingency lines in the northern portion of the fire area with the intent of burning out along certain portions to create solid control lines,” according to the latest report, which states that as the fire moves into the Zaca Fire burn scar area, growth has been minimal.
The fire is being fueled by tall vegetation and growth that occurred following rain earlier this year.
More than 3,000 fire personnel are now assigned to the fire.
