Cold Fire In Yolo County Rages On

Cal Fire

Updated Friday, Aug. 5, 2016, at 3:04 p.m.

A three-day old wildfire burning in the rugged hills between Winters and Lake Berryessa in Yolo County continues growing.

The U.S. Forest Service is now leading the battle against the 4,700-acre blaze, replacing Cal Fire. The fire jumped a containment line Thursday, and continues burning westward, into Napa County and toward the lake.

One lane of State Highway 128 was reopened early Friday afternoon, but drivers should expect delays six miles west of Winters as traffic will be guided by pilot cars through a three-mile stretch of road through the fire zone. The fire is 15 percent contained. Air quality advisories have been issued for Yolo, Yuba and Sutter Counties.
