#ApacheFire [update] More pictures from the fire. Crews from Butte and many surrounding CAL FIRE units remain at scene mopping up. With a fire of this size, mop up takes a long time as firefighters walk every part of the fire making sure there is no more smoke.

#ApacheFire [update] The fire remains at 691 acres and is now 47 percent contained. At 7 this morning, @ButteSheriff lifted the final evacuation warnings in the fire area.
