Multiple Burning Vehicles in Kelseyville Ignite Nearby Vegetation
At approximately 1:30 p.m. the Pharo Fire began burning in the Lake County community of Kelseyville engulfing cars, boats, and RVs in flames that would then spark nearby vegetation.

As of 2:21 p.m., the forward progress of the vegetation fire had been stopped and resources will be working to extinguish the vehicles and other debris.

Lake county had over 900 cloud to ground strikes yesterday.
Thanks for the coverage, and Cal Fire + Kelseyville FD, not to mention all the ranchers and farmhands that came scooting in to stomp this…
I was driving to the Post Office right about when it started…
Very scary to see the thousands of dead trees and the roads that haven’t been cleared of dead weeds etc…
