King Fire smoke drifting west

Smoke from the King Fire could be seen in Cool and Auburn overnight.

This is normal as the fire continues to burn within the interior. Smoke will settle with the cooler night air and follow canyons and drainages, and will lift and disperse as the day warms. It should become progressively lighter until the fire runs its course or enough precipitation extinguishes it.

The fire, which has consumed 97,717 acres, is 98 percent contained, with full containment expected this week. Crews continue to be sent home, however there are still nearly 2,000 personnel on the fire.

There will be a community meeting tonight at 6 at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Camino.
