Nearly two weeks after it began, all evacuation orders and warnings related to the Pickett Fire near Calistoga have been lifted, Napa County emergency officials said.
The wildfire, which began Aug. 21 near Pickett Road, has burned 6,819 acres and was 90% contained Tuesday. Because of crews getting the upper hand on the flames, all evacuation orders and warnings still in effect were lifted as of midday Tuesday, according to the Napa County Office of Emergency Services.
The evacuation orders still in effect were for zones NPA-E107-B, NPA-E114, NPA-E115, NPA-E122-B, and POP-E002-C, and warnings were in effect for zones POP-E002-D and POP-E001-B. People can find their zones online.
The fire destroyed a single-family residence and four outbuildings. The home that burned was found within the perimeter of the blaze but was believed to be abandoned due to its remote location and lack of access routes, Cal Fire officials said.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
