UPDATE #1 7:05pm....Just spoke with Lisa Williams at CAL Fire, the fire is not yet contained but it appears they have the upper hand on it. No homes have been damaged per Lisa, also still remains at 100 acres in size. More to come.. UPDATE #2 7:10pm...We are on scene now near the fire. The fire apparently started down a ridge then climbed to the top of a ridge off of Valentine Hill Drive. One home that was affected, was the home of Frank and Janice Lowry. There home was doused with retardant, and due to quick thinking on their part and their neighbors, using tractors and a loader, they quickly cleared the area around their home. The fire burned within 100 feet of their residence...
