How to resolve AdBlock issue? NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – A nearly 4,200-acre complex of five wildland fires near Maxwell in Colusa County has been fully contained.
The Sites Complex, burning since last Sunday, was reported 100-percent contained at approximately 4,185 acres Thursday evening, according to a Cal Fire report issued just after 7:30 p.m.
While fully contained, Cal Fire said smoke may still be visible within the complex’s control lines.
The Sites Complex’s full containment came a day ahead of Cal Fire’s previous estimates.
No structures were destroyed and no evacuations had been required, but Cal Fire reported a total of five minor injuries as a result of the fires.
On Thursday evening, approximately 712 personnel, 37 engines, 26 fire crews and four bulldozers remained on the scene of the fire, located along Sites Lodoga Road between the town of Sites and East Park Road, according to Cal Fire.
While some personnel already had been released from the incident, firefighters and equipment are expected to remain on scene for mop up operations for several days, Cal Fire said.
No cause for the fire has yet been reported.
Cal Fire Incident Management Team 4 will be transitioning command of the incident to the local Cal Fire Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit at 10 a.m. Saturday.
