LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Firefighters are continuing the work to wrap up work on a wildland fire that destroyed structures and caused evacuations on Saturday.
The Arden fire, which began Saturday afternoon at Arden and Foothill drives in Lucerne, remained at 26 acres on Sunday, with containment up to 60%.
It destroyed two structures, led to temporary evacuations and caused a power outage of several hours.
On Sunday morning, traffic control remained in effect in the area of Highway 20 and Foothill Drive on the west end of Lucerne, as firefighters and utility workers continued their efforts to fully contain the fire and deal with the infrastructure damage.
Later on Sunday afternoon, traffic cones were still in place to slow traffic but traffic was flowing through the area unimpeded.
On Sunday evening, all but one of the fire units left the scene for the night, with three engines, a utility unit and a crew set to return on Monday, according to radio traffic.
The resources that Cal Fire said remain assigned are 50 personnel, four engines, one dozer, one water tender and one crew.
The 401-acre Lake fire, which began Aug. 3 in Clearlake, was contained on Saturday morning and the North fire, which burned 11 acres on Friday near Sulphur Bank and North Drive in Clearlake, was fully contained on Sunday night.
