As of Sunday morning, it had scorched over 4,000 acres. Firefighters were working hard and they'd managed to get 20% containment on it. This thing kicked off Thursday afternoon, right on the border of Lake Amendocino counties, Southeast of Potter Valley. The crews were making some solid moves overnight, really beefing up those containment lines in a few spots. Their main mission was to keep the fire from spreading beyond where they'd already established control, and they were busy putting out any lingering, hot spots. Now the focus for Sunday was all about reinforcing those lines even more, hitting any remaining hot spots and keeping a close eye on areas close to, people's homes. They were also watching for any new spot fires or shifts in how the fire was behaving. Thankfully, that red flag warning that was up for Lake County finally wrapped up early
