LAKEPORT, Calif. – Firefighters from agencies around Lake County are working on a large brush fire outside of Lakeport.
The fire was first dispatched at about 3 p.m. Tuesday, in a field across from Rainbow Ag, according to radio reports.
Lakeport Fire Chief Doug Hutchison told Lake County News that the fire is located at the end of Thomas Road.
He said the fire has burned toward Highway 29, with one small spot jumping the highway.
Lakeport Fire, Kelseyville Fire, Northshore Fire and Cal Fire were on scene, with Lake County Fire also sending resources, Hutchison said.
Cal Fire was bringing in air resources, with a copter on scene and air tankers also assigned, Hutchison said.
Hutchison said dozers and crews from Cal Fire also are on scene.
He said no structures were threatened.
Just before 5 p.m., Hutchison reported over the radio that forward progress on the fire had stopped, but firefighters were still in attack mode.
At that point, he estimated total size was between 30 and 35 acres.
Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.
