CALISTOGA, Calif. (KGO) -- The Pickett Fire, which burned for more than two weeks in Napa County, is fully contained, CAL FIRE announced on Sunday. It burned 6,819 acres.
Evacuations were ordered back on August 21 for some residents near Calistoga in Napa County for the then-growing brush fire.
All evacuations and warnings were lifted on September 2.
At last check, the fire damaged at least five buildings and no injuries were reported.
The fire threatened and impacted rural areas of Napa County, including the unincorporated parts of Calistoga, Pope Valley, Aetna Springs, and Angwin, officials said.
Ground crews were aided by an air tanker and a helicopter dropping water on the flames.
ABC7 News meteorologist Drew Tuma says the fire burned in the same area as the Glass Fire in 2020.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, though previous reports say it was either connected to a winery or a control burn.
