LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Cal Fire reported that firefighters have fully contained a wildland fire near the Indian Valley Reservoir.
The 215-acre Reservoir fire reached 100-percent containment on Tuesday night, Cal Fire said.
That update came after a report earlier in the evening that had put the fire's containment level at 75 percent, as Lake County News has reported.
Cal Fire said the fire began on Sunday evening seven miles southwest of Leesville, between the Indian Valley Reservoir and Hough Springs, along Bartlett Springs Road.
Fire officials confirmed that the blaze was spotted by volunteers at the Mount Konocti fire lookout tower, which is once again being staffed during daytime hours.
No cause has yet been given for the fire, which Cal Fire said did not damage any structures.
The Reservoir fire is the largest incident so far in Lake County's summer fire season.
