Updated 9:47pm:

More than 120 acres have burned in a remote area of the West Slope, with containment at 20 percent.

The fire started Sunday afternoon in Shingle Springs.

Called the French Fire because it is burning off French Creek Road, it is challenging firefighters because it is difficult to get to.

No structures as of the evening of Sept. 17 had been threatened.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
