Wednesday’s updates from the 17 wildfires burning in California:

Lake County repopulation: With the main expansion of the Ranch Fire having shifted to its northern edge, the mandatory evacuation order has been lifted for towns along Clear Lake’s north shore. Residents are being allowed to return to Upper Lake, Nice, Lucerne, Pepperwood Grove, Paradise Valley, Glenhaven and Clearlake Oaks.

Highway 20 has also reopened in both directions along the lake’s shore. Several stretches of it have been closed since the start of the Mendocino Complex fires, on July 27. Click here for maps of the fires’ perimeter and evacuation zone.

Interstate 5, Highways 70 and 41 reopened: Two new fires this week had closed major highways, but those have now reopened.

The Five Fire, near Kettleman City, erupted Monday night and closed Highway 41 and a lane of southbound Interstate 5. It has been fully contained, and the highways are open.

The Murphy Fire, in the Feather River Canyon, started in the early hours of Tuesday. At 8:15 that night, Highway 70 was closed between Belden and Rock Creek, because of falling rocks and other debris dislodged by firefighting operations. The road has now reopened.

Highway 108 closed: Twenty miles of this trans-Sierra highway, from 13 miles east of Strawberry to Sonora Pass, is closed because of the Donnell Fire.

Pacific Crest Trail closed: The Mexico-to-Canada trail is shut in three places, according to the Pacific Crest Trail Association:

Near Idyllwild: An eight-mile stretch between Apache Peak and the Tahquitz Peak junction is closed, under order from the San Bernardino National Forest. Part of the connector between Idyllwild and the PCT is also closed. The Cranston fire is expected to be fully contained Thursday.

Between Sonora Pass and Ebbetts Pass: The trail is closed for 31 miles between the passes, on Highway 108 and Highway 4 in the Sierra. The Donnell Fire is burning about 5 miles to the west. Kennedy Meadows Resort, a resupply point for hikers, has been evacuated.

Between Highway 70 and Highway 36: The trail is closed for 43 miles north of Belden, on Highway 70 in the Feather River Canyon, because of the Murphy Fire.

Only one Yosemite entrance open: The only entrance station remaining open is Tioga Pass, on Highway 120 on the park’s east side. Visitors can’t go west of White Wolf. Click here for more details and a map of Yosemite closures.
