The fire has closed 120 East for the time being and access to the South Tufa and Navy Beach area is also closed.
Four aircraft. including a helitanker, a helicopter and two air tankers will be on the fire today, as crews work to hold the northern flank of the fire near Highway 120 East.
The fire is estimated to be 20 percent contained.
