Plumes of smoke rose from the hills west of Nevada City where the Pleasant fire ignited Saturday afternoon at 2:31 pm.
The fire burned through 70 acres in two hours and is 0% contained, said Robert Foxworthy, information officer with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The burn area is about 65 miles northeast of Sacramento.
The fire is burning in the area of Owl Creek Road and Lost Ranch Way. It has caused several road closures and threatened structures, Foxworthy said. The Nevada County Sheriff’s Office issued a mandatory evacuation order for McKitrick Ranch Road on Saturday afternoon. Local news site Yubanet.com reported that the fire started when a car went up in flames, but Foxworthy could not confirm that report.Related Articles
