The blaze, which began Sunday, is now 15 percent contained. Fire officials say that crews made progress overnight on strengthening containment lines, but steep terrain and dry conditions have made it difficult to fully contain the flames.

"There are 600 hundreds structures threatened by this fire, so this fire is definitely threatening a lot of structures and homes outside of the Susanville area itself," says Daniel Berlant, a spokesman for Cal Fire. "And as this fire does continues to progress in a southeasterly direction, there are other communities south of Susanville that are threatened by this fire."
He says that windy conditions this week will increase fire risk in that area.
"Crews are still hitting this fire hard, trying to slow it down, but those winds that have slowed it down, that has definitely not been working in our favor and that high fire danger will continue to challenge firefighters on the Willard Fire."
Berlant says that there are 11 large wildfired burning across California right now. The Williard Fire began Sunday and the cause is still under investigation.
An evacuation center is open at the Community Church of Susanville, located on Numa Road near the intersection of Cameron Way.
