Northern Calif.'s Largest Fire Continues To Grow In Tehama County
BUTTE MEADOWS, Calif. (AP) — Crews battling a growing wildfire in Northern California's Tehama County are bracing for another day of gusty winds and low humidity.
State fire spokesman Daniel Berlant says the Panther Fire north of Butte Meadows grew overnight. But an estimate of its size was revised down from more than 15 square miles to 10 square miles.
The fire was 10 percent contained. It's burning in a remote area and is not posing an imminent threat to any structures.
Elsewhere in Northern California, crews expected to fully contain a 125-acre blaze in Sonoma County and a 200-acre blaze in Glenn County on Friday.
Containment of a 55-acre fire in Butte County was expected this weekend.
