UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Firefighters are continuing their efforts to contain a wildland fire that broke out on Saturday morning in the Mendocino National Forest.
The High Glade Fire, currently burning on the forest's Upper Lake Ranger District, is holding at approximately 350 acres and is estimated at 5 percent containment, according to the report from forest spokesperson Tamara Schmidt.
There was minimal fire growth overnight and, as long as wind speeds remain low, there is little potential for growth, Schmidt said.
Hand crews, engine crews and aviation resources continued making progress on the fire Sunday in an effort to increase containment. However, as the fire continues to burn, Schmidt said smoke will remain visible in the area.
The High Glade Fire was spotted early Saturday morning. Schmidt said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
