LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County's second-largest wildland fire of the season is now fully contained.

Cal Fire said the 25,118-acre Jerusalem fire reached full containment as of Monday night.

It had been burning since Aug. 9 in the Jerusalem Valley area northeast of Middletown, eventually burning into Napa and Yolo counties.

The incident also burned into the southern perimeter of the much larger Rocky fire, which scorched 69,438 acres in Lake, Colusa and Yolo counties.

Together, the fires burned approximately 94,556 acres in Lake and its neighboring counties.

Over the last week, the Jerusalem fire's containment had continued slowly, sometimes changing by just a percentage point or two a day, or going a few days with no changes.

Like the Rocky, the Jerusalem fire led to evacuations and burned a total of six homes and 21 outbuildings, Cal Fire said.

The Jerusalem fire's cause remains under investigation, Cal Fire said.

Cal Fire spokeswoman Suzanne Blankenship said an engine crew will be patrolling the fire area to monitor it for the next two to three days to make sure there are no issues.

However, with wildland fires burning all over the state, the rest of the resources have been released or reassigned to other incidents, she said.

Blankenship said patrol on the Rocky fire – which was fully contained as of Aug. 14 – has ended, with personnel on that also sent to new assignments.

With the Jerusalem fire now fully contained, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife reported that the Cache Creek Recreation Area reopened to the public as of Tuesday.
