Less than an hour later, sheriff’s officials confirmed that several structures, including an unknown number of homes, had been burned by the fire. Officials did not specify the exact number of homes that burned.
Firefighters wrangled the wildfire by 11 p.m. Sunday, and all evacuations were lifted Monday morning, according to the sheriff’s office.
