NAPA, Calif. -- Firefighters responded to a vegetation fire that forced evacuations and threatened structures in Napa County Tuesday afternoon.The fire currently stands at 570 acres with 5% containment, according to CAL FIRE. Officials say crews will work through the night to contain and control it.
"We heard a pop and then a spark just fly out of it looks like a telephone box or a power box," Schwarz said.But this isn't the first fire to burn in this area. Both firefighters and residents alike say it's in the same spot as the Atlas Fire back in 2017. That fire, which was a part of the Northern California firestorm, burned tens of thousands of acres and lasted for weeks.
"Everyone that I know around here, since the '17 fire, has been working pretty hard to clean up vegetation, clean up brush, but some events you just can't predict," Bird said.
