POINT FIRE IN SONOMA COUNTY 50%

Evacuation orders in parts of Sonoma County remained in effect Tuesday night as the Point Fire in the unincorporated area of Geyserville was holding at 1,207 acres and was 50% contained as of Cal Fire's latest update at about 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.  The fire, which began on Sunday, is fully within control lines established by firefighters. 

A decrease in wind speed led to the cancellation of a red flag warning that was issued on Monday. Winds between 3-5 miles per hour are forecast overnight Tuesday and into Wednesday. Another fire burning in Colusa County, the Sites Fire, was just 5% contained as of Tuesday evening after burning 15,565 acres. Pangburn said the decreased wind speeds would also help firefighters gain the upper hand there, with winds forecast between 5-10 miles per hour and gusts up to 15 miles per hour.
