**Start Date/Time/Location** The Springs Fire began on May 6, 2025, in the area of Fountain Springs, east of Ducor, California, in Tulare County[4]. **Size and Containment** As of the latest update on May 6, 2025, the fire has burned an estimated area, though the exact acreage has been adjusted due to more accurate mapping. The fire's size increased, but there was no further extension of the fire through the night. The current containment status is not specified in the latest reports[2]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire is burning in grass and has seen some growth due to the need for more accurate mapping. However, there was no significant spread overnight and into the morning. **Containment Efforts** Ground resources have been working on the fire overnight and into the morning to increase containment. Air attack with tankers was also deployed to support the efforts[4].
