The wildfire is burning in both El Dorado and Placer counties and has grown to nearly 70,000 acres, officials said Friday morning. Containment of the blaze is still at 20%.

Officials say stronger winds are expected to arrive in the area Saturday which could throw burning embers and create spot fires despite the forecasted rain.

No new evacuation warnings or orders have been issued. Georgetown has been downgraded from an evacuation order to an evacuation warning and residents can repopulate.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. Pacific Gas & Electric said unspecified “electrical activity” occurred close in time to the report of the fire.
