According to Cal Fire, the fire has burned 6,803 acres and is 13% contained as of 6 a.m.
"Fire crews worked overnight to strengthen control lines, mop up hot spots and protect nearby structures," Cal Fire officials said in an update Monday morning. "Firefighters are working in steep, challenging terrain as they continue to strengthen containment lines."
Officials said warm and dry conditions are expected to continue Monday, with afternoon winds expected to bring an increase of fire activity.
In a video update posted Monday afternoon, Deputy Operations Chief Steve Chapman said, "No large real fire growth in the last 24 hours, the fire footprint remains much of the same."
