The Walbridge Fire is one of the fires included in the LNU Lightning Complex Fire, which has torched 363,220 acres. The fire was 92% contained on Wednesday, Cal Fire said.
Firefighters had made significant gains against the LNU fire, but the record-setting heat over Labor Day weekend and strong winds led authorities to issue a red flag warning for increased fire danger.
The last remaining evacuation orders for the LNU Lightning Complex had only recently been lifted, allowing residents to return home to towns like Rio Nido.
