The Boone Fire, which ignited Tuesday afternoon, has rapidly spread to 12,252 acres and is only 5% contained, according to CalFire.
From the most recent report, 75 structures remain under threat as the fire continued to burn actively on Wednesday.
There are 66 engines, 44 water tenders, 16 helicopters, 23 dozers, 30 hand crews, and others supporting the firefighters.
Receptive fuels and favorable conditions contributed to its spread, with the northern section burning in the 2020 Mineral Fire footprint. Over the next three days, temperatures are expected to exceed 100 degrees, with dry conditions and afternoon winds up to 25 mph complicating firefighting efforts in the steep, rugged terrain.
