KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A fire that began on Mount Konocti on Thursday afternoon is expected to be fully contained on Friday morning.

The fire, reported shortly before 2:30 p.m. Thursday, burned 25 acres and was 80-percent contained shortly after 9 p.m., according to Cal Fire.

Cal Fire said its resources stayed on scene into the night.

Kelseyville Fire, Cal Fire, Lakeport Fire, Northshore Fire, Lake County Fire and US Forest Service were among the agencies responding to the blaze, which quickly moved through dry vegetation on the mountainside.

The air and ground resources that aggressively worked the fire helped keep the fire from growing larger.

Firefighters’ work also protected Judy Cardinale’s home, which was in the fire’s path.

Cardinale credited firefighters for saving the house and other nearby structures.
