Firefighters turned a corner overnight in their battle against a blaze that scorched more than 1,000 acres in Hesperia over the weekend. 

“The fire held really well last night. Firefighters on the ground are making great progress,” Cal Fire spokesperson Chloe Castillo said Monday morning. “As of right now, everything is looking great.”

Containment on the blaze dubbed the “Hesperia Fire” rose from 7% Sunday night to 30% Monday morning with no increase in size, which stands at 1,078 acres, Cal Fire stated in an update on X, formerly Twitter.
