How to resolve AdBlock issue? NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – Cal Fire reported late Monday that the majority of more than two dozen wildland fires within the agency's Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit that had been sparked by a lightning storm early that morning had been contained.
The overnight storm resulted in nearly 6,000 lightning strikes across Northern California, with more than 50 fires in Cal Fire's jurisdiction alone.
Of those fires, Cal Fire said 25 were within the Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit, an increase by five from an estimate earlier in the day.
The agency said the fires, located in difficult-to-access terrain, ranged in size from spots up to a four-acre fire that burned in Solano County and was fully contained Monday afternoon.
By Monday night, 11 of the 25 had been fully contained, with no buildings destroyed and no injuries reported, according to Cal Fire.
Among the fires contained so far were two near Upper Lake in Lake County, one on Elk Mountain Road and another off of Clover Valley Road, Cal Fire reported.
A fire on Leesville-Ladoga Road west of Williams in Colusa County, four fires near Vacaville in Solano County and four spot fires in Sonoma County also had been fully contained, the agency said.
Still burning are another 14 small fires in Sonoma County, the report said.
Approximately 129 personnel, 14 fire crews and four bulldozers remained committed to the incidents late Monday, Cal Fire said.
