Overview
- The Woodside Fire, which ignited Thursday near the 24000 block of Highway 1 at Timber Cove, expanded quickly to roughly 140–143 acres.
- Cal Fire said containment climbed to about 30 percent after overnight gains using air tankers, helicopters, engines, dozers and hand crews.
- Mandatory evacuations for Zone SON-1D1 — covering Salt Point State Park, Timber Cove, Steelwater Cove and Ocean Cove campgrounds — remain in effect and a temporary shelter is open at Laguna High School.
- Smoke drifted into wide parts of the North Bay and produced unhealthy to hazardous fine-particle readings, prompting an extended Spare the Air alert and health advisories for vulnerable people.
- Cal Fire reported no injuries or confirmed structural damage, noted rare ember spotting that jumped across ocean coves, and said investigators are still working to determine the fire’s cause as crews extinguish hotspots.
