The Chico Enterprise-Record (California)

FEATHER FALLS, Calif. — Despite a new blaze in the area Sunday that blackened two acres and threatened structures, firefighters were able to fully contain the Craig Fire by early Monday morning.

The fire burned for more than a week and charred just over 2,000 acres near the Middle Fork of the Feather River, north of Lumpkin Road.

One mobile home was destroyed and a barn was damaged.

Seventeen injuries were reported to firefighters, which at one time numbered more than 2,000.

Mop up of hot spots and restoration work in the fire zone is expected to take up to two weeks.

As of Monday, the cost to fight the fire stood at $10 million.

Sunday's fire was started when a bird flew into a power line, said Cal Fire-Butte County Capt. Scott McLean.

It burned just outside an area already charred by the Craig Fire, near the Feather River Grange Hall at Lumpkin and Island Bar Hill Road.

Although all evacuation orders and road closures have been lifted, McLean said residents should use extreme caution while driving narrow, winding roads in the area.

In addition to several pieces of fire equipment still at the scene, McLean said logging trucks are steadily driving and out of the vicinity.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
