Midnight fire grows to over 400 acres

The Midnight Fire burning in the Carson National Forest swelled to 429 acres on Thursday morning. 

The fire is 0 percent contained. No homes are threatened at this time, and no roads are closed because of the fire. 
The McCrystal and Cimarron campgrounds in the Valle Vidal remain voluntarily evacuated as a precautionary measure. 

Fire crews said the fire didn't spread much on Wednesday, but they were unable to fight it because it's burning in rugged terrain where there are high winds. 
Officials hope the upcoming cold weather and chance of rain will help them curb the fire over the next few days. 
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
