The Plumas County Sheriff’s Office has issued an evacuation advisory for the Sugar Fire east of Maddelena Road and Sugarloaf Mountain to Goodwin Ranch.

The Sugar Fire is 300 acres in size as of Saturday morning, burning in grass, brush, and timber.

According to the Plumas National Forest, several homes were evacuated during the initial attack by the Plumas County Sheriff’s Office.Resources to fight the Sugar Fire have been diverted from the Dotta Fire to assist.

Odd, the Inciweb hasn’t been updated in four days. It’s ripping and spotting on the cams right now

That’s the Sugar incident, not the Dotta.
The 2 fires are part of the Beckwourth Complex.

As of Thursday morning, the Sugar Fire grew to 11,799 acres and is 20% contained. The Dotta Fire stayed at 670 acres as containment grew to 76%. The U.S. Forest Service said it has issued a forest closure for the area of the Beckwourth Complex due to the extreme fire danger. Mandatory evacuations have been issued around Dooley, Big Cove, Frenchman Cove, Frenchman Village and Frenchman Lake including all campgrounds and residences around the lake and Maddalena.
State Route 284 is closed from about three miles north of State Route 70 to the end of State Route 284,An evacuation warning for Dixie Valley remains in effect. The Dotta fire seems to be less of a problem currently. The Sugar looked to catch the wind this afternoon and has gotten a head of steam again
