Rocky Fire, burning in the counties of Lake, Colusa and Yolo in Northern California, was held steady at 69,600 acres consumed, with containment efforts advancing to 45 percent, according to a Friday update from Cal Fire.

“Overnight weather conditions brought clouds and plenty of lightning to the Bay area. Only a few sprinkles were observed around the fire and no lightning was detected within the vicinity of the fire perimeter. Firefighters continue to work aggressively to build control lines and sustain perimeter control,” the agency said.

Some roads were reopened and some evacuations lifted. New repopulation information can be found at the following link:http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/pub/cdf/images/incidentfile1161_1677.pdf
