Temperatures are cooling slightly and the winds are dying down at the fire command post near the Greek Theatre. Fire officials said they are cautiously optimistic that the fire is ‘laying down’ for the night -- though there are still visible flames and many hotspots. A shift in winds -- like the one that flared the fire around 7 p.m. -- could cause problems.The command center will remain open through the night.
