Fire officials reported Monday that a wildland fire burning in rugged terrain near Lake Berryessa in Napa County had been contained, but mop up work on the area was continuing.
The Knoxville fire, which began Saturday afternoon, burned a total of 508 acres two miles north of Lake Berryessa, according to a Monday report from Cal Fire spokesperson Suzie Blankenship.
Blankenship's report noted that the fire was contained at 10 a.m. Monday. No evacuations were required and no structures were lost.
The cause remains under investigation, she said.
Throughout the weekend hundreds of firefighters from around the region – including from county fire protection districts including South Lake County Fire, Northshore Fire and Lake County Fire – participated in the effort, as Lake County News has reported.
Cal Fire said there were no injuries as a result of the blaze.
While the blaze is now under control, firefighters are continuing to clean up the fire area, located in steep and rugged terrain, according to Cal Fire.
The agency reported that three helicopters, 14 fire engines, six fire crews and 190 personnel remained on scene Monday.
Officials have stressed that the fire and the operations surrounding it have not impacted Lake Berryessa, which remains open to visitors.
Cooperating agencies on the fire included Cal Fire, Bureau of Land Management, California Highway Patrol, California Department of Fish and Game, Napa County Fire, South Lake Fire, Lake County Fire, Northshore Fire, Napa County Road Department and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
