Roughly 30 people living on Dinely Drive are under a voluntary evacuation order. Just in case, they have brought boxes to pack essentials, luckily though Cal Fire officials said the fire is not a serious danger at this point.

Hand crews are creating containment lines on the ground though it is a difficult and uphill battle on this ridge. Firefighters are optimistic they can protect nearby properties but are still urging people to be prepared for anything.
