(BCN) Hundreds of firefighters are continuing to battle three large vegetation fires in Sonoma and Napa counties this afternoon.
The biggest of the three blazes is the Yellow Fire in Sonoma County, which has burned at least 125 acres of oak woodland and rolling hills east of Healdsburg, according to Cal Fire.
It started around 1:20 a.m. today as two separate fires in the area of Yellow Jacket Ranch Road and state Highway 128 in Knights Valley, Cal Fire spokeswoman Karen Stasko said. The two small fires later merged.

The response includes crews from Cal Fire, Bennett Valley, Sebastopol, Healdsburg, Geyserville, Gold Ridge, Knights Valley, Graton, Kenwood Valley and the Central Fire Authority.
