A 103-acre wildfire near Napa County's Berryessa Estates was 80 percent contained Sunday morning, Cal Fire said.
The Snell Fire, first reported at 5:36 p.m. Friday on Snell Valley Road in Pope Valley, was stopped at 103 acres thanks to a swift response and strong fire attack from the air and ground, Cal Fire Unit Chief Mike Marcucci said on social media.
The fire's forward spread has been stopped, there is a continued threat to structures and power lines and there are road closures in the area, the agency said in a 7:18 a.m. report on the Cal Fire website. Crews are expected to be at the scene Saturday mopping up, Marcucci said. The cause of the fire is under investigation, Cal Fire said.
On Sunday morning, Cal Fire also noted that an incoming dry cold front would reduce minimum relative humidity values into the 25-30% range in the hills of northern Napa County, with the driest conditions occuring Sunday and Monday. UPDATE: Containment on the fire is up to 80% and it remains at 103 acres burned.
