LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – With no new acreage increase on the Rocky fire and a steady increase in containment, officials began to allow some evacuees to go home on Thursday, with more displaced residents to be allowed home Friday and area highways to reopen.
Cal Fire's Thursday evening report on the fire said acreage remained at 69,600, with containment up to 45 percent. Full containment is expected on Aug. 13.
On Thursday, the Rocky fire's eighth day, Gov. Jerry Brown visited with officials at the Cowboy Camp Trailhead in Colusa County to get an update on the efforts to fully contain the fire, the largest now burning in California.
There were no reports of any additional structures burned on Thursday, with the total count remaining at 96 structures destroyed – 43 residences and 53 outbuildings – and eight structures damaged.
Improving conditions led officials to report on Thursday night that Highway 20 and Highway 16 are expected to reopen on Friday.
