Just as the Oroville fire was being brought under control a second fire has started near Butte Creek Canyon about 2 p.m. High winds pushed the fire quickly across the dry brush and at this moment it appears uncontained.
View from upper Humbolt Road. The fire was only about 600 yards away as I turned around and headed for Hwy. 32. Other motorists followed my lead and we all made a quick dash to the highway.
This is the view from ridge at Hwy. 32 and Humbolt looking at the north ridge of Butte Creek Canyon.
