The Shoe Fire, ignited on October 9 in Shasta County, has consumed 4,131 acres and is attributed to human activity, with containment at only 8%.
Cal Fire noted that the warm and dry weather conditions have exacerbated the fire's spread, leading to active burning in all directions barring suppression efforts.
The area burning has not seen recent fire history, coupled with mature timber and critically dry fuels, which are fueling the rapid spread of the Shoe Fire.
An evacuation order has been issued for zones LKH-1448-B due to immediate threats to life, underscoring the urgency of the situation.
