The Bobcat Fire has reached 114,000 acres and 50 percent containment, reports LAist.com.

The L.A. County Fire Department is offering an Occupancy Support program for residents.

#BobcatFire containment more than doubled to 38%, thanks to days of strenuous fireline construction by firefighters working in challenging conditions. Night crews completed critical strategic firing to link containment line from Mt Wilson to HWY 2. https://t.co/APSrKsa0Vn @LACoFD pic.twitter.com/xvusW4zpuX
