The latest Monday morning from Cal Fire:
“The River Fire had limited movement overnight Sunday, a burnout operation conducted on the Northern portion of the fire in the late afternoon improved containment. Monday we will look at burning out and tying in containment lines. The Ranch Fire continues to grow in the north and south eastern directions, threatening communities in the fires path. The terrain on the Northern quarter of the Ranch Fire make it challenging to access the fire front directly. Many crews will be on the ground in the communities threatened by the fire, providing structure protection. As there is increased containment and success on the River Fire, resources are being mobilized to help with the Ranch Fire.”
