All evacuation orders lifted for Mooney Fire near Nevada-Yuba county line

All evacuation orders have been lifted for a fast-moving wildfire that sparked near the Nevada and Yuba county line Wednesday afternoon.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) said the Mooney Fire was burning near Mooney Flat in the area of Lombardi Drive and Kirk Way and had grown to an estimated 25 acres with 25% containment. Flames were spreading at a dangerous rate, firefighters had said, with at least one outbuilding lost in the fire.

By 4:30 p.m., Cal Fire said crews had halted the fire's forward progress.

The Nevada County Sheriff's Office had ordered residents in Zone NCO-E010 to evacuate immediately around 1:30 p.m. Evacuation warnings were also issued for zones NCO-E017, NCO-E012, NCO-E011 and NCO-E150.

Shortly after 6 p.m., all evacuation orders were lifted.

Yuba County officials also issued evacuation warnings for zones YUB-E063 and YUB-E045 in the Smartsville area, however those were lifted shortly before 4 p.m. Affected areas included Highway 20 northeast of Smartsville, along with Mooney Flat Road, Lombardi Road and a small northern stretch of Hammonton Smartsville Road near the Smartsville Cemetery.

Officials stressed that the Mooney Fire is separate from the Chute Fire burning near Dobbins. Still, Yuba County's temporary evacuation point remains at the Penn Valley Library, 11252 Pleasant Valley Road.

Smartsville is in western Nevada County, roughly 50 miles northeast of Sacramento.
