LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Firefighters are on scene of two wildland fires, one in Clearlake and one near Clearlake Oaks.

The Borax fire was reported at around 1:30 p.m. Thursday in the area of Sulphur Bank Road and Borax Lake in Clearlake, according to radio reports.

Lake County Fire and Cal Fire are on scene, with tankers and Copter 104 hitting the fire from the air early on, radio reports indicated.

The last report of size given over the air was between six and seven acres, with spot fires being contained through a retardant line.

Then, just after 3 p.m., Northshore Fire received a report of a small wildland fire in the area of Harvey Boulevard and Terry Drive in Clearlake Oaks. 

The fire was reported to be running uphill, with structures threatened. Radio reports indicated that the fire was about six to eight acres at around 4 p.m.

Resources were being released from the Borax fire in order to respond to the Harvey fire, according to radio traffic.

At least eight engines and one dozer, and several crews were reported to be on scene at about 3:30 p.m. 

Air resources, including tankers and Copter 104, also were assigned to respond to the Harvey fire.

Law enforcement was dispatched to the scene to deal with traffic and crowd control, radio reports indicated.

Due to the need for additional resources, the call went out to local fire districts for an in-county strike team, but with incident commanders reporting that local resources were tapped out, a request was put out to Mendocino County for four engines and a water tender, which were entering the county at about 4 p.m.

At 4 p.m. one injury was reported, and Lake County Sheriff's officials were being requested to come to the scene to discuss possible evacuations, according to radio reports.

Just after 5 p.m., Lake County Public Works reported that, effective immediately and until further notice, Harvey Boulevard in Clearlake Oaks is closed to all traffic except emergency response vehicles due to the fire. 

The agency asked that the public stay away from the area in order to allow emergency vehicles unhampered access to the fire and to facilitate evacuations if necessary.

Additional updates will be posted as information becomes available.
