Flames broke out around 2:30 p.m. at the south end of Lake Berryessa in the Cold Canyon area near Highway 128. Three hikers in the area were safely rescued.
Steep terrain and winds in the area are making the firefight difficult. Cal Fire says they have several air tankers doing water and fire retardant drops. They also have several hundred firefighters battling this fire from the ground.
