Lake County’s Pawnee Fire is 80% contained

Lake County, Ca., (KIEM)- The Pawnee Fire is nearing 15-thousand acres in size (14,900 at last estimate). Mule Skinner Road at Highway 20, and Walker Ridge Road at Highway 20 remain closed. People who live in the Double Eagle Community are still waiting to return to their homes tonight, and Cal Fire says those houses are still under threat.

Still, Cal Fire says “Diminishing weather conditions overnight and higher humidity” have helped crews fight the fire tonight. The fire is 80% contained.
