NAPA, Calif.—Crews battling the toughest of several wildfires burning across the state held their ground, keeping a blaze east of California’s Napa Valley from jumping any more containment lines, fire officials said.
The fire, which has burned for a week, has charred more than 11 square miles in Solano County. It jumped the containment line Tuesday in rugged, steep terrain baked by triple-digit temperatures.
“We’re optimistic that we are able to stop and hold it,” said Daniel Berlant, a spokesman for the California Department of Fire and Forestry Protection.
