Some 30 structures are being impacted by the blaze, which covered 75 acres and was 10 percent contained as late afternoon on Sunday according to Cal Fire.

Authorities also report that it began as vegetation fire in Clearlake near Dam Road and Boyles Avenue. Due to the location, the blaze has been dubbed the Boyles Fire.
