Firefighters are working to contain a brush fire that sparked Friday morning in Kern County, according to authorities. The Sherwood fire started around 10:15 a.m. in the area north of Sherwood Avenue and Famoso-Woody Road, east of Highway 65 and north of Bakersfield, according to Cal Fire. The fire was 20% contained as of 2 p.m., at which point it had grown to 373 acres.
Temperatures were around the low 70s Friday afternoon, with northwest winds around 10 to 12 mph. 'As the smoke comes up, it's pushing everything southwest in that area,' Molina said. 'Because the winds are not too strong right now, getting a good handle on the fire.' Temperatures are expected to rise another 10 to 15 degrees between Friday afternoon and Sunday, meaning they could get into the mid-80s, Molina said.
