Evacuations still in place for Rices Fire in Nevada County; 5 firefighters suffer heat-related injuries
The Rices Fire that has prompted evacuations in Nevada County has charred about 904 acres and burned at least one structure, Cal Fire officials said in a Wednesday evening briefing. The blaze is 10% contained with an expectation of full containment to happen by Sunday, Cal Fire said. Containment is not a measure of how much of the fire is extinguished but rather how much of a perimeter around the fire is established to prevent it from spreading.
