What happened near Stonyford?
fire officials initially estimated the fire at one to two acres. It was spreading south and west, threatening structures south of East Park Reservoir. Firefighters stopped its forward progress by 10:25 a.m.
on September 5. "Forward progress stopped" means the fire was no longer expanding, although crews still had work to do. One outbuilding was fully involved, and firefighters were extinguishing it. The supplied incident information does not document additional structure impacts.
When was the fire contained?
CAL FIRE reported the Stony Fire 100% contained at 4:02 p.m., about six hours after it began. The agency's September 6 incident record confirms the final size as two acres. Containment means firefighters established control lines around the fire.
It does not mean every hot spot was immediately cold, but the record no longer supports describing the fire as currently burning. Readers encountering an earlier alert should check its timestamp. Reports about threatened structures or a spreading fire described the initial response, not the latest conditions.

What resources responded?
The recorded response included one helicopter, nine engines, two bulldozers and two firefighting crews. CAL FIRE also listed air-tanker suppression missions when conditions permitted. that response was substantial compared with the fire's final two-acre footprint.
It shows officials committed ground and air resources while the fire was spreading and structures were threatened. No incident management team was assigned, according to CAL FIRE's latest incident details. Such a team was therefore not part of the documented response.
Which agencies handled the incident?
CAL FIRE labels the event "Not a CAL FIRE Incident," even though its page identifies the Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit as the jurisdictional agency. The record also names the Williams and Stonyford fire departments under agency information. That label does not mean firefighters failed to respond.
It describes how the incident was classified in CAL FIRE's reporting system, while the same record documents the responding resources and involved agencies. The fire's cause was still under investigation in the most recent CAL FIRE record. Until officials update that finding, readers should not assume whether the fire was accidental, intentional or naturally caused.
