UPPER LAKE, Calif. – The Mendocino National Forest is currently fighting a fire located in a remote area north of High Glade Lookout on the Upper Lake Ranger District of the Mendocino National Forest.
The High Glade Fire was spotted this morning, as Lake County News has reported.
It is estimated to be approximately 350 acres and is 0 percent contained, according to a Saturday evening report from the Mendocino National Forest.
Smoke from the fire was highly visible Saturday afternoon in the mountains west of Interstate 5, the forest's report said.
Engine crews, hand crews and aviation resources are currently working on containing the fire, according to the Mendocino National Forest.
As winds died down Saturday afternoon, the rate of spread has slowed, giving fire crews the opportunity to make progress, officials said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, according to forest officials.
