The U.S. Forest Service said Sunday morning that the Garnet Fire burning in mountainous eastern Fresno County is 69% contained.

That is a big gain from Friday afternoon’s 37%.

In addition, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office lifted evacuation warnings previously placed on Zones K32B, K74, K85, and K160. The sheriff’s office reduced evacuation orders for Zones K28 and K32A to evacuation warnings.

These zones encompass the far eastern side of the fire, as well as the southern portion, which is to the north of Highway 180.

However, Zones K27, K29, K30, K31, K40, K61A, and K166 remain under an evacuation order. Additionally, Zones K26, K41, K60, K61B, K76, and K165 remain under an evacuation warning.
