Wildfire

Fire officials say that late March brings its own fire season.

The utility says in a statement Monday it will also admit to a single count of unlawfully starting a fire.

Roads were blocked to one village because the fire posed too much danger for residents to evacuate or return to their homes.

Firefighters may have to deal with occasional wind gusts through Thursday.

Firefighters were expected to deal with high winds through Wednesday.

Further information is expected to be released as the new management team assumes command of the fire, Dinges continued.

This story will be updated as more information is released.

Officials say rural communities in Woods Landing and Jelm Mountain were evacuated last June during a nearby forest fire.

Cabins and a Boy Scouts camp were evacuated as the fire surged Tuesday and Wednesday.

Fire crews are being flown into the area.
