NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – The growth of the County fire and its potential threat to more residences resulted in Napa County officials advising evacuations in the fire’s path.

By Monday evening, the fire – which began Sunday in the Yolo County community of Guinda – had burned 60,000 acres with just 5 percent containment, as Lake County News has reported.

Earlier this week, the fire crossed into Napa County, officials reported.

Late Monday, the Napa County Sheriff’s Office issued an evacuation advisory for Berryessa Highlands, Markley Cove and Pleasure Cove Resort.

The areas impacted by the advisory are located east of Capell Valley Road; north of State Highway 128 from Capell Valley Road, east to the Napa County line; and all of Steele Canyon Road.

Authorities said residents of Berryessa Highlands, Markley Cove Resort and Pleasure Cove Resort should be prepared to evacuate if fire conditions worsen and the Napa County Sheriff’s Office, in consultation with fire incident commanders, determine the evacuation order is necessary.

Residents with special needs or pets requiring specialized transportation should consider extended travel times in their potential evacuation plans, the advisory said.

Although the evacuation advisory is precautionary, officials said residents who elect to evacuate voluntarily should utilize State Highway 128 west or Monticello Road south in their travel route.

Residents are asked not to use State Highway 128 east, as there is no access into Solano or Yolo counties via State Highway 128.
