The fire, which began burning at around 1 p.m. Thursday off Soda Bay Road at Golf Drive in the Black Forest, was fully contained as of Sunday evening, Cal Fire said.
It burned a total of 20 acres but did not damage or destroy any nearby homes, dozens of which were evacuated for a day due to the fire’s close proximity. Evacuations and road closures were lifted on Friday afternoon.
Officials said one firefighter of the hundreds that had been assigned suffered a minor injury.
Cal Fire said over the weekend that its investigators concluded that the fire was caused by an “improperly discarded cigarette,” as Lake County News has reported.
Four firefighters and an engine remain assigned to the incident. Cal Fire firefighters will be checking for smokes in the fire area over the next several days.
