High winds whipped up a wildfire in Shasta County on Thursday, triggering extreme fire behavior that experts said is unusual for March in California.
A storm system was passing over California on Friday, and Shoemaker said some rain could fall over the fire, though it would likely be extremely light.
Shoemaker said the weather service office in Sacramento was watching the smoke and noted that it was likely being caused by the fire eating up the dead trees and dry vegetation. As of 4 p.m. Friday, there were 15 engines, five crews and four water tenders assigned to the blaze, Cal Fire said.
