Meanwhile, another fast-moving fire has forced the closure of Highway 50 in both directions near Kyburz, about 30 miles east of Placerville. The fire started Thursday around 2 p.m. PT.
The Kyburz fire has grown to 100 acres according to inciweb.
Wragg Fire started Wednesday along Highway 128 near Wragg Canyon. Overnight, the flames spread into treacherous terrain.
About 1,300 firefighters from around the state were battling the fire, which was 15% contained as of 2:30 p.m.
