A fire that grew to four-alarm status Saturday near a port in Benicia, about 40 miles northeast of San Francisco, has "slowed considerably" but is still burning, the City of Benicia said in an update on social media.
"Three small pockets of fire remain," officials said in the post. "The San Francisco Fire Department fire boat made significant progress overnight."
Several fire departments in the area are working together to battle the fire. They anticipate the fire will continue to burn throughout the day Sunday, the post said.

Before the stealth bombers streaked through the Middle Eastern night, or the missiles rained down on suspected terrorists in Africa, or commandos snatched a South American president from his bedroom, or the icy slopes of Greenland braced for the threat of invasion, there was an idea at the White House.

More than two weeks after the stunning US raid on Caracas that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro, the political confrontation over the future of Venezuela is rapidly coalescing around two leaders, both women, who represent different visions for their country: the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, who stands for continuity, and opposition leader María Corina Machado, who seeks the restoration of democracy.
