LOWER LAKE, Calif. —

Crews expect to fully contain a fire in Lake County that has destroyed several outbuildings and vehicles by Saturday morning.

The fire along Highway 29 outside the community of Lower Lake has burned 300 acres since it began on Thursday afternoon. State fire officials say crews have been able to stop its forward progression though 20 structures remain threatened.

The fire is now 30 percent contained.

It forced the evacuation of at least one subdivision. That evacuation order remains in place. Another subdivision was under a voluntary evacuation that has since been lifted.
