As of 1 p.m., the fire was about 10% contained, sitting more stationary and ‘digging in’ -- burning within the rough perimeter firefighters have set up, said Sgt. Don Atkinson of the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department.

‘It’s around 10% or so, which is a step up from what it was,’ Atkinson said. ‘This morning is was only 5%, so I think any progress they make is good. A lot depends on whether the afternoon winds come; the afternoon is when the wind traditionally starts to kick up, so a lot depends on what happens with that.’
