As the Lodge Complex fires northwest of Laytonville expands, fire crews are preparing for a worst case scenario and removing brush from around structures that are at risk. According to Cal Fire spokesperson Julie Cooley, “Fire crews are in the process of removing dried and dead vegetation around residences in the Horseshoe Bend area.” Seventeen structures are threatened. The blaze, which now encompasses, 2700 acres is only 10% contained.
