The Voltaire Canyon Fire was burning an estimated 100 acres and was 25 percent contained.
Voluntary evacuations were still in place for the Carson Indian Colony, said Erica Hupp, of the Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest.
“There was one house that was in immediate danger, but crews were able to protect the house with a fire retardant drop,” she said.
