LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Firefighters were able to fully contain a Lakeport blaze that burned in a neighborhood on Saturday afternoon.

The Hill fire was first reported shortly after 4:45 p.m. Saturday in the area of 11th Street and Highway 29, and caused multiple spot fires.

Burning in a neighborhood, it prompted immediate mandatory evacuations from the area of 19th Street north to Park Way, which remained in effect until late Saturday.

A temporary evacuation point was activated Saturday evening at Lakeport City Hall.

At least one home was reported to have burned in the fire.

Firefighters from around Lake County as well as from Mendocino County were part of the response. Some of those resources needed to be diverted to other incidents out of the county, according to radio traffic.

Power lines were down in the area and propane tanks were reported to be exploding.

Both the northbound and southbound lanes of Highway 29 at 11th Street also were temporarily closed while firefighters worked in the area.

Radio reports said the fire was contained, but not fully out, shortly after 6 p.m.

By the time the incident was terminated shortly after 9:45 p.m., it had burned two and three quarter acres, according to a report over the air by Lakeport Fire Chief Patrick Reitz.

Information on the fire’s cause was not available by the time of publishing.
