Evacuation orders for a fire that burned over 100 acres were lifted or downgraded late Friday night.

The Coyote fire was reported just after 5:30 p.m. near the intersection of Spruce Grove Road in Hidden Valley Lake, according to Cal Fire. Firefighters contained 95% of the blaze by Saturday morning.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office announced an evacuation order for an area bordered by Spruce Grove to the south and Noble Ranch Road to the north. An evacuation warning was in place for all other areas within the immediate vicinity. At about 11:30 p.m., all evacuation orders and advisories were lifted, save for a zone near Conestoga Road, Cal Fire said on Twitter.
