A wildfire burning in San Benito County is 70 percent contained as of Sunday morning, according to Cal Fire.

The area surrounding Forest Road remains under an evacuation order, though all other evacuation orders have been minimized to evacuation warnings.

The fire began burning last Thursday afternoon and has since reached 104 acres. It destroyed two structures, threatened four and injured one first responder, said Cal Fire.

Fire officials said the fog rolling in on Saturday afternoon helped suppress the fire. Crews will continue to remove hazardous trees with PG&E and Graniterock, and begin mopping up hot spots.

Residents can call 211 for fire-related evacuation needs.
