Second fire in 8 years to threaten our neighborhood

We live near a primitive open field covered in grass and weeds. There are wind warnings today. We are in a drought. There is a fire in the field. We are considered safe as long as it doesn't jump across the railroad tracks. The fire is just the other side of the railroad tracks in the photo below.
