Sonora, CA – The Dove Fire containment jumped overnight from 40 percent to 55 percent this morning.

The acreage is holding steady at 226 acres. CAL FIRE reports that firefighters took advantage of cooler temperatures overnight and were able to increase containment. They added, “Smoke from isolated pockets of heat well within the fire’s perimeter may be visible to the community; however, expanding the depth of the fireline and mop-up are a focus of crews as work to achieve full containment continues.”

Additionally, damaged utilities are being repaired, and inspections are in progress. McKibbon Drive, Martha Lane, and Outlook Drive, in addition to the residences and businesses on the north side of Stockton Road east of Nancy Hope, are no longer under evacuation warnings. Deputies will continue to patrol areas under evacuation orders throughout the night.
