Update: Eagle Fire in Lake County burning 75 acres, Cal Fire says
Cal Fire personnel are making progress containing a 75-acre wildfire that started Tuesday morning in a remote area of Lake County about 12 miles northeast of Clearlake.
The Eagle Fire, burning along Walker Ridge and Bartlett Springs roads near the Lake-Colusa county line, is 65 percent contained as of 7 a.m. Wednesday, Cal Fire said in an incident update. The fire remained at 75 acres between Cal Fire’s Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning incident reports.
Cal Fire had reported the fire at 50 acres Tuesday morning, then doubled the estimated size to 100 acres within an hour. The reported size then fell to just 40 acres at about 10:20 a.m. due to more accurate mapping, Cal Fire said in a tweet.
The fire is burning in Cal Fire’s Sonoma-Lake-Napa area, the same unit that has been battling the Kincade Fire for nearly two weeks.
