NORTH COAST, Calif. – Firefighters had another successful day on the Kincade fire lines, preventing it from scorching more acreage and pushing it still closer to finally being contained, allowing another evacuation order to be downgraded to a warning.
The Kincade fire was held to no growth on Friday, with firefighters raising containment to 70 percent. Cal Fire still expects to fully contain the fire on Nov. 7.
Structures remaining threatened total 1,630, with 360 structures destroyed and 59 damaged, Cal Fire said.
The continuing improvement in fire containment and conditions led officials on Friday to downgrade an evacuation order to a warning in the zone 1B area of the evacuation area, located west of the Lake County line, east of Asti Road and Highway 128, and north of Pine Flat Road. Pine Flat Road is closed and the area south of Pine Flat Road (Zone 1C) is still under evacuation order.
Pacific Gas and Electric said about 1,400 electricity customer accounts remain without power because of the Kincade fire. Those accounts are mostly in Sonoma County, but some in Middletown and Calistoga.
Resources assigned to the incident are starting to roll back. Firefighters now total 4,681, with 418 engines, 64 water tenders, 15 helicopters, 105 hand crews and 55 dozers, Cal Fire said.
