Growth on Northeastern California Wildfires

Updates on Gold and Hog fires

 

 

ADIN, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters worked Friday to construct and reinforce containment lines around a forest fire in rural northeastern California.

The Gold Fire in northern Lassen County was expected to go through another round of intensified activity during the afternoon, as it did a day earlier before moderating overnight, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The nearly 30-square-mile (77-square-kilometer) fire was 35% contained. Two firefighters have been injured and seven structures have been destroyed since the blaze erupted Monday.

Earlier unstable weather moderated but there remained a threat of additional fires sparked by previous lightning strikes.

In southern Lassen County, the 15-square-mile (39-square-kilometer) Hog Fire west of Susanville was 38% contained, Cal Fire said. Evacuation orders also continued there.
