NICE, Calif. – A fire that burned on Robinson Rancheria Monday afternoon threatened several homes before firefighters contained it.
The fire, on Manzanita Circle across from Acorn Drive, was reported at about 4 p.m. Monday, according to radio reports.
Reports from the scene indicated the fire was going the hill behind the group of residences just east of Robinson Rancheria's casino.
Northshore Fire Deputy Chief Pat Brown said the fire ultimately burned about seven acres and threatened four or five nearby homes, burning some fences and weeds near the residences.
Brown said Northshore Fire sent four engines, a water tender and two chiefs – including himself and Chief Jim Robbins – and Lakeport Fire responded with a unit under mutual aid.
He said Cal Fire took over the wildland portion of the fire, providing three engines, two hand crews, a helicopter and one chief.
Reports from the scene indicated that the fire was close enough to being controlled just after 4:30 p.m. that fixed wing aircraft and additional dozers from Cal Fire were canceled.
Brown said the cause of the fire is under investigation, although they have an idea what may have ignited it.
Also late Monday afternoon, the California Highway Patrol reported a fire along Highway 29 near Lower Lake. Radio reports indicated the fire was contained shortly before 5 p.m. by community members.
