All Holland Fire evacuation orders, warnings lifted near Placerville

Evacuations were briefly ordered in El Dorado County due to a grass fire on Wednesday evening, officials said.

Cal Fire said the fire was in the area of the 200 block of Holland Drive in a drainage area on the south side of the south fork of the American River. 

By 7:15 p.m., crews reported that they had fire retardant on all sides of the fire and were working to establish a direct line around it. 

Due to better mapping, the fire's size was reduced to four acres, down from about seven acres initially reported. Shortly before 9 p.m., the forward progress of the flames was stopped and all mandatory evacuations were reduced to warnings. All warnings were lifted by late Thursday morning.

A temporary evacuation point was established at the Placerville Library, located at 345 Fair Lane.

Aircraft and other resources responded to the scene to battle the fire.
