KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A fire that burned on the side of Mount Konocti this week has fully contained as of Friday afternoon.
The Mount Fire, first dispatched just before 2:30 p.m. Thursday, was held to 25 acres by the time it was fully contained, according to Cal Fire.
The fire was located off Konocti Road and Oak Hills Lane east of Kelseyville, Cal Fire reported.
Agencies including Cal Fire, Kelseyville Fire, Lakeport Fire, Northshore Fire, Lake County Fire and US Forest Service worked on the Mount Fire, hitting it fast from the ground and the air.
Their quick action saved a home and kept the fire from growing as large as the 100 acres officials arriving at the scene originally estimated it could grow.
There was no word on Friday as to the fire’s cause.
