Mosquito Fire continues to grow due to combination of high temperatures and lack of moisture in vegeMICHIGAN BLUFF -- Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency Thursday for El Dorado and Placer counties due to the rapidly-growing Mosquito Fire.
A state of emergency has also been declared in Riverside County due to the deadly Fairview Fire, officials announced early Thursday evening. The Mosquito Fire continued its rapid growth in the drought-parched timberlands of the Sierra Nevada, roaring though the mountain community of Michigan Bluff, burning structures and vehicles and forcing residents to flee to safety.
During their Thursday evening update, Cal Fire officials said that while containment lines around Foresthill were strengthened over the course of the day, some structures were still under threat. The bigger push came from the Oxbow Reservoir area south where the fire spotted across the American River and into El Dorado County, growing over 5,000 acres in the matter of a few hours. That was where the fire moved into the area of Volcanoville, damaging an unknown number of structures.
