Sunday's article:
Authorities said crews faced an increase in fire activity Sunday after a smoke inversion lifted over much of the Mosquito Fire.
The wildfire burning in both Placer and El Dorado counties has scorched 46,837 acres and is just 10% contained so far. More than 11,000 people have been forced to leave their homes as 5,848 structures remain under threat.
In an Sunday evening update, Cal Fire and the United States Forest Service said there was no westerly progress on the fire. Cal Fire NEU Unit Chief Brian Estes said forward progress of the fire in Placer County has been stopped to the west and fire has been put in place around Foresthill.
"We have direct fire line established from Baltimore Mine to the American River. The forward progress of the fire in Placer County has been stopped to the west, and we are securing that and we will maintain that securing of that fire," Estes said.
Landon Hack, Operations Section Chief, the Mosquito made a run toward Westville between Foresthill Road and Deadwood Road. He said the fire has been moving toward the east, but noted there was no southeast progress in the last 12 to 24 hours. With containment on the south end of the fire, there's been no more progress toward Quintette.
