Evacuation orders remain in Yuba County as crews work to extinguish fire

Crews appear to gain good footing against a Yuba County vegetation fire that forced nearby residents to evacuate. The fire was first reported shortly before 5 p.m. along Winding Way, Cal Fire, the state's fire management agency, said. As of 8:53 p.m., the fire has burned at least 80 acres. Roughly an hour before, there were a reported 60 acres burnt. Cal Fire said the fire is 15% contained as of 8:53 p.m. Containment is not a measure of how much of the fire is extinguished but rather a gauge on how much of a perimeter, whether manmade or natural, was established around the fire to help prevent it from spreading. Video by Alert Wildfire showed a massive plume of dark smoke in the area. As the night progressed, the size of that plume began to wane.
