Fire Update....Vegetation Fire Reported Near Oak Hill Area...50 Acres, Firefighters have Upper Hand and Tankers Released

Valley Springs, CA...Firefighters on ground and in air are working a 10 acre vegetation fire in the Oak Hill area. Localized evacuations have been ordered in the neighborhood. Please use caution in the area & more to follow....Update as of 1:40pm...aircraft & crews making progress, evacuations near Butler Lane & Quail Oaks. Update as of 1:53pm...more resources including two additional tankers ordered. Update as of 159pm...fire now at 15-20 acres at last estimate. Update as of 2:25pm...at last report from IC fire now at 25-30 acres and sounds like they are starting to get the upper hand. Update as of 2:37pm...IC has released the tankers that were assigned to this fire from the Holister Air Attack base. Our local tankers are still on the fire but this is a great sign as when the Incident Commander is comfortable releasing tankers then the beginning of the end is in sight for an incident. Update as of 2:50pm....Air Attack has released tanker 82 & 83 loaded to return to Columbia. It was a little unclear on updated acreage estimate...it was either 29 or 49 but typically the total acreages shrink when they complete mapping. PG&E crews have also been requested to start making repairs on the powerlines that are down. Update as of 3:10 pm...confirmed the fire is now at 50 acres and hopefully holding. I know there is still lots of work to be done for the firefighters but Great Job. Update as of 3:52pm....Firefighters have reached 40 percent containment, acreage holding,
