PLACERVILLE, Calif. — As smoke pours over from the Caples Fire into the valleys and canyons at night, firefighters continue to make progress combating the fire.
The Caples Fire was originally a prescribed burn that turned into a wildfire when fire and wind conditions became unfavorable for firefighters.
As of Sunday night, the Caples Fire has burned 3,042 acres and is 42% contained. Crews were able to secure two indirect containment lines on the south side of the fire.
Officials described the burning on Sunday and the fire's recent progression as a low intensity underburn, which they say is consistent with their objectives.
