Progress reported against two major wildfires burning in Northern California

LA Times  

Smoke rises from the Hog fire west of Susanville in Lassen County. Firefighters on Friday continued to make progress against two major wildfires burning in Lassen County, northeast of Sacramento, officials said. The 19,000-acre Gold fire was 35% contained as of early Friday, up from 15% the day before, said spokesman Jeff LaRusso of the Riverside County Fire Department, which is assisting Cal Fire in fighting the fire. “Our aircraft are trying to get up in the air early in the morning and do as many retardant drops parallel to the fire to pitch it down,” LaRusso said. Meanwhile, the Hog fire, burning about five miles west of Susanville, has burned about 9,540 acres and was 38% contained as of Friday morning, said Cal Fire spokeswoman Cecile Juliette.
