PLACER COUNTY, Calif. — Firefighters have contained a 650 acre fire burning near Roseville.
The fire started around 2:09 p.m. about 5 miles southwest of Lincoln at Sunset Boulevard West and Amoruso Way.
In a little more than an hour, Cal Fire Nevada-Yuba-Placer Unit tweeted that the fire had grown to more than 100 acres with a moderate rate of spread and was threatening structures.
Firefighters said the flames eventually crossed Sunset Boulevard West, grew to 250 acres, and started burning toward the city of Roseville with 0% containment.
Crews were able to stop forward progression on the so-called Amoruso Fire and now have air resources over the blaze.
CHP set up road closures in the area as firefighters tended to the fire.
In an update from Cal Fire Nevada-Yuba-Placer Unit, they said the fire was contained. An earlier size estimate from Cal Fire pegged the fire at 663 acres, but it was revised to 650 acres due to better mapping.
