Mendocino Complex Fire Update

By Newsroom

The Mendocino Complex Fire now encompasses just under 91 thousand acres, according to Cal Fire. A release put out Wednesday says the Ranch Fire involves 59 thousand acres and is 15% contained. The River Fire is 32 thousand acres and 38% contained. Last night firefighters made good progress on increasing containment on the River and Ranch fires. Today fire personnel are continuing to work on containment lines, fighting the fire directly when access and conditions permit along with building contignecy lines ahead of the fire front. Low humidity, heat, and wind continue to challenge firefighters battling the blazes. On the whole, the fires are 24% contained and estimates are there will be full containment by next Tuesday.
