Strong winds pushed flames across operational control lines causing road closures and power outages in the nearby area.<\/p>\n<p>Though the prescribed burn escaped the intended treatment area, the fire remained within the management boundary contained to a 6800-acre property, according to Cal Fire LNU Deputy Chief Ryan Isham in a video statement.<\/p>\n<p>The initial burn was part of the annual Highway 128 prescribed burn. Established in 2018, it was decided that a prescribed burn would be conducted to eliminate dead and dying fuel along the highway after four consecutive years of this area being affected by large scale wildland fires.<\/p>\n<p>The Highway 128 prescribed burn was scheduled from June 8-12, burning about 40 acres between Pleasants Valley Road and the Putah Creek Fishing Access Site 2. After the fire escaped containment, it eventually grew to a total of 860 acres.<\/p>\n<p>By June 10, Cal Fire reported no significant new growth and continued strengthening contaminant lines ahead of red flag warning conditions going into effect the next day.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=2832\">\u2018It\u2019s always been the same\u2019: Step back in time with Los Gatos\u2019 vintage downtown<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Firefighters battled the burn through the elevated wildfire risk conditions, including triple-digit temperatures, gusty winds and low relative humidity in the area, to extinguish hotspots within the containment zone.<\/p>\n<p>By June 15, the fire was 95% contained and patrol status was activated, officials said. Over the next several days, fire crews monitored the area and conducted fire suppression repair.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cal Fire declared 100% containment at 12:45 a.m. Friday.
