There. Reporter this morning, cal fire says the key to containing the rocky fire is the weather if it cooperates with them and doesnt turn hot and dry. For the first time in seven days, the evening shadow over lake county isnt smoke plumes from the rocky fire but coastal clouds. Today has been the calmest day since the fire started. Reporter the monster wildfire even got a short soaking from some muchneeded rain. I think we got fortunate this morning. We had a pretty good marine layer come in overnight. So we had some cloud cover, temperatures dropped, humidities went up. Reporter evidence of the fierce battle between firefighters and flames could be seen all around the edge of the fire, a blackened field with a house standing unscathed at the center of it and the sobering reminder that all that was standing between disaster and containment were roads and determination. How close did this fire come to spreading thousands of acres more . Take a look. That right there is the fireline. Im crossing highway 16 right now. Had it jumped the asphalt and hit this canyon, it would have had thousands of more acres to burn. The rocky fires afternoon pattern of flaring up stopped allowing water drops to put out hot spots and not stay ahead of the flames. All along highways 16 and 20, the north and eastern edges of the rocky fire, crews from across the state were stationed watching for any smoldering hill sights that could spark back up. Gives the guys a chance to get ahead of the curve and than try to play catchup. Reporter containment last night was 20 on this fire. Firefighters expect and hope that once the sunrises they can get planes in the air that will go up again. In lake county, andria borba, kpix 5 andria borba, kpix 5.
