The Lava Fire - burning between the city of Weed and Mt. Shasta - jumped from 1,446 acres on Monday to 13,300 acres as of 10 a.m. Tuesday. It's 20% contained, according to the U.S. Forest Service. More than 1000 personnel are fighting the fire. Tuesday, firefighters planned to scout for containment opportunities north of the fire and hold constructed lines to the south and west, cutting off the fire before it reaches residential areas, the Forest Service said. Steep rocky terrain, limited road access to the fire and limited water sources close to the fire are impeding firefighting efforts in the area.
