Firefighters Battling Blaze
Firefighters are currently battling the Boyles Fire, which has burned over 1,000 acres and is 0% contained. The fire is burning in steep terrain, making it difficult for firefighters to access and extinguish. Strong winds are also fanning the flames and spreading the fire rapidly.
Evacuation centers have been established at the following locations:
- Clearlake Senior Center (14050 Olympic Drive)
- Lower Lake Community Center (9400 Lake Street)
Residents who need assistance with evacuation can call the Lake County Sheriff's Office at (707) 263-2690.
