New evacuation orders have been issued for the Bear Fire near Oroville, north of Sacramento and south of Chico. Mandatory evacuations are spread across parts of Plumas, Butte, and Yuba counties.

This puppy has some minor burns but is now being cared for in Chico.

Authorities were able to track down the property owner who had to rush to evacuate and didn't have time to account for all their dogs.

Butte County deputies decided to name the puppy Trooper.
