back to the jerusalem fire that is burning in lake county. sky 7 hd overhead. the fire has burned 16,500 acres. it's only 6% contained. tons and tons of smoke into the air. nearly 1,700 fire personnel are battling the blaze and there are mandatory evacuations still in place for dozens of residents. >> for the latest on the fire, dan joins us on the phone. again, thank you for joining us for the second day. tell us about the firefight today. and if there's been any improvement from yesterday. >> we expect the same type of conditions, by about this time fire activity is really starting to pick up.

late yesterday afternoon the winds started to increase, that pushed the fire into a northeasterly direction. the good news is as we reported to you yesterday, the fire is burning away from a majority of the homes in the jerusalem valley area but it continues to burn in areas that are very thick, very dry, and easily burning similar conditions to what the rocky fire had been burning a couple weeks ago. >> in general, would you say we are better or worse off than we were 24 hours ago? >> we are expecting the same type of conditions like yesterday. so we're hoping that the containment line that the retardant dropped all day long will really hold this fire back and not allow it to continue to progress as yesterday. the trouble has been erratic winds. yesterday we saw strong winds out of the southwest. we see winds in all directions. that challenges our firefighters. today will be a telling point

for us. will it have the ability to grow the next several days? as you mention ed nearly 1,700 firefighters working in the battle. we're working against mother nature, very dry drought conditions. >> daniel, you mentioned the rocky fire and yesterday you said that was largely contained, but the fires were relatively close enough they could merge. what is the latest? have they merged? are they still in danger of coming into one fire? what can you tell us about that? >> the rocky fire has been holding at just under 70,000 acres so we haven't seen any growth of the fire in several days now. the jerusalem fire has burned right up to the edge of the rocky fire but it's that burned area that's not going to continue to spread. these aren't really merging together as one because the rocky fire on the outside perimeter successfully has been able to be stopped. it's 88% contained.

but again, our biggest challenge is the fact this fire is burning in the other direction away from that burned area from the rocky fire. the fires have connected in the perimeter but it's not like it's becoming one massive fire. the rocky fire, there's a lot of cleanup to be done. still a lot of hot spots. that fire isn't growing. it's the jerusalem fire that continues to grow, and that's where we're putting a lot of our resources to slow down and stop this fire. >> all right, daniel, thanks for your time. we appreciate it. just imagine the fatigue of those firefighters. >> from one to the next. >> it never seems to end. hopefully the winds will cooperate. a reminder you can download our free abc 7 news app to get the latest information on the fire and other breaking news and push alerts for instant updates. free to download for smart phones, tablets and the apple watch. a great resource. colorado wildlife officials will test fish along the animas river.

>> reporter: the attack may put her in a tough spot. will she choose to defend herself or criticize the obama administration on the campaign trail? stephanie ramos, abc news, washington. reports say north korean leader kim jong-un ordered the execution of the vice premier earlier this year. a south korean news agency is reporting kim had the 63-year-old official shot in may after he expressed discomfort with one of the leader's po policies. reports say kim has had more than 70 government officials executed since he took power three years ago. coming up on abc 7 news at 4:00, we could soon know if this year's el nino will actually be the drought buster california is counting on. >> and hoping for. but first, a dozen planes tossed like toys. the storm that's making a big mess out of a west coast airport. i'm michael finney.

that particular piece of gold is worth because it's on or in your tooth but it is quite normal and quite common for you to say i want that gold given to me. and it's up to you. >> david e-mailed i went to college and they went out of business. do i owe them any money for tuition? >> there's a very good opportunity or very good chance you do not owe them. this is one of the few times where the government has stepped in. generally if you have a student loan you're not getting out of it no matter what. the exception is if the school closes down and the fed reacts. let me post information on my website. i'll post the links you need. you can check it out. a very good possibility you will not have to pay any more than you already have and may get a rebate. >> those people have been through so much. >> this is horrible, horrible. >> thank you, michael. well, a photo of a woman breast-feeding a boy who isn't her own child is igniting controversy. the photo shows jessica colletti
