The Mosquito fire in northern California started on September 6th and as of the afternoon of September 7 the Mosquito fire is 4.223 acres and 0% contained. Cause is under investigation.

Evacuation orders are in effect for Michigan Bluff, Gorman Ranch, and Chicken Hawk in Placer County, and Volcanoville in El Dorado County.

Weather conditions today with near record high temperatures, very low relative humidity, and critically low fuel moistures which will provide extreme burning conditions which are expected to
allow the fire to actively burn, with the potential for spotting.
