Eleven homes were evacuated Tuesday and the Berryessa Community Center was opened to evacuees, but residents were allowed to return home when the order was lifted late Tuesday, San Jose Fire Capt. Brad Cloutier said.
One person remains displaced from their home, which is considered destroyed. Two other homes sustained peripheral damage to fences, but the structures remain intact.
Police are controlling the area today and only letting residents in, Cloutier said.
One of the injured firefighters was taken to a hospital Tuesday for treatment and was later released.
