Northern California — Evacuation warnings have just been lifted for some in Siskiyou County.
The Petersburg Fire started Sunday between Trinity and Shasta National Forests.
It’s currently estimated to be 350 acres, and 30-percent contained.
Starting at six, evacuation warnings were lifted for all affected neighborhoods.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but the U.S. Forest Service says there weren’t any lightning storms in the area so it was most likely human caused.
“We’ve been getting a few fires and we really want to ask people to please be careful with fire — especially this Fourth of July holiday — it’s just so important. Ya know, one less spark, one less wildfire,” Joshua Veal with Klamath National Forest said.
As of now, there hasn’t been any growth to the fire and crews are starting to mop up the hot spots.
