"Because of #RockyFire close Clear Lake, Thruway 20 is shut from Roadway 16 to Expressway 53 for all through movement in both bearings," said CAL FIRE representative Daniel Berlant.
Berlant said on Twitter that the Rough fire in Lake Region developed to 22,500 sections of land and was five percent contained.
In the mean time firefighters tackled another blast in the Cajon Pass, closing down a few paths of the 15 Road, The Los Angeles Times reported.
Around 8,000 firefighters have been conveyed over the state, said the California National Watchman, which has been called without hesitation. What's more, a firefighter kicked the bucket while doing combating one of the bursts prior in the day.
"California's serious dry spell and great climate have transformed a great part of the state into a tinderbox," California Representative Edmund Cocoa said in an announcement, pronouncing a highly sensitive situation.
"Our valiant firefighters are on the forefronts and we'll do all that we can to help them."
The dead firefighter was recognized as Dave Ruhl, 38, from South Dakota, who was killed Thursday while battling the Frog Fire in the Modoc National Timberland outside Alturas.
"Firefighter Ruhl will be associated with his administration and fortitude and we extend our most profound sympathies to his family, companions and partners with the US Backwoods Administration," Cocoa said in a different proclamation.
Out of control fires are an unavoidable truth in quite a bit of California, yet were far more regrettable than regular this year as a result of completely dry conditions, with the western US state held by a fourth year of record dry spell. (AFP)
