Clearlake residents forced to leave their homes due to fire, according to Boyles Fire map.

On a typical Sunday afternoon in Clearlake, a fire broke out and quickly spread, prompting authorities to issue evacuation orders within the first hour. This unfortunate event was just one of many reported under the category of "Crashes and Disasters," where the dangers of wildfires were highlighted. As the fire continued to burn, it sparked mandatory evacuations and caused severe damage to properties.

The fire, named the Boyles Fire, was first reported around 2 p.m. in the southern part of the city, near Boyles and 8th avenues. By 4 p.m., the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection described the blaze as "fast-growing" and estimated its size to be 76 acres. It had already engulfed around 30 structures, leading to an evacuation order for approximately 4,000 residents. To better visualize the situation, a map was provided with a black line outlining the approximate perimeter of the fire and a red area indicating the evacuation zone.

For the latest updates and more information on the evacuation, concerned individuals could refer to the Genasys Protect map or the X feed of CalFire's Sonoma-Lake-Napa unit. The fire was in close proximity to the area that had been devastated by the Cache Fire in August 2021, which also resulted in evacuations in Clearlake. As the authorities worked tirelessly to contain the fire, the safety of the residents remained their top priority.
