The Mosquito Fire burning in Placer and El Dorado counties grew more slowly Friday and overnight as it consumed dry landscapes, destroying homes and sending thousands of residents fleeing. The wildfire, which started Tuesday evening north of the Oxbow Reservoir, had burned nearly 34,000 acres by Saturday morning and remains 0% contained, making it one of the state’s largest wildfires of the season so far. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has expanded its air advisory through Saturday to account for the incoming plume of smoke and haze.
