CALPELLA, Calif. (AP) — Damage assessments are pending in a small Northern California town struck by a small but fast-moving wildfire during the weekend. The Hopkins Fire erupted suddenly Sunday afternoon in Mendocino County town of Calpella about 108 miles north of San Francisco. Authorities say the 257-acre fire is 20% contained early Monday with the help of lower temperatures and higher humidity overnight. Cal Fire says a damage assessment team has been requested to survey the fire area to determine how many structures have been damaged or destroyed. In the southern Sierra Nevada, two fires ignited by lightning are burning in Sequoia National Park.
