The blaze was first reported at 3:14 p.m. on Saturday, prompting authorities to issue evacuation orders for all of Quail Canyon Road and Pleasants Valley Road from Quail Canyon north to Highway 128 and west to the county border.

Fire crews plan to spend Sunday putting out hot spots and strengthening their containment lines, according to a Cal Fire Twitter account.
