Northern California’s Antelope Fire grew to 73,558 acres with 83 percent containment by early September 8, according to the latest official reports.

A fast-moving spot fire prompted the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office to issue an evacuation order for the area around Medicine Lake on Monday.

Local media said this was the second time a mandatory evacuation order had been issued for Medicine Lake due to the Antelope Fire.
