Evacuations have been lifted in San Jose Thursday night after a vegetation fire prompted those orders, fire officials said.
An advisory was issued by Cal Fire at 6:10 p.m. about the Colleen Fire, which was burning off of Colleen Drive. Fire officials said at about 9:15 p.m. that evacuation orders were lifted.
The fire has burned 90 acres and is still only 20 percent contained Thursday night, according to the Cal Fire Twitter account at 10:18 p.m. Firefighters will work through the night and additional crews will join the effort tomorrow, fire officials said.
The #ColleenFire was this close to the top of our hill when we were evacuated. Thank you to the @SJFD and @CAL_FIRE heroes who are battling the fires… pic.twitter.com/lR2Rp2esj6
