The U.S. Forest Service confirmed 27 percent of the Lava Fire has been contained and nearly 24,000 acres burned as of early Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>More than 1,000 firefighters have been battling the blaze, which officials say ignited due to lightning. Extreme heat and dry weathers conditions have made it difficult for the fire to be contained. Firefighters have also had to battle steep and rocky terrain with lava rock fields providing disadvantages for crews to establish efficient fire lines.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here is a satellite loop of a pyro cumulus cloud over the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LavaFire?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LavaFire<\/a> .

The Tennant Fire has burned more than 9,000 acres and is only six percent contained.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tropical-storm-elsa-strengthens-to-hurricane-status\/\">Tropical Storm Elsa Strengthens To Hurricane Status<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A helicopter passes a smoke plume while battling the Lava Fire in Weed, Calif.
