A wind-driven wildfire, which broke out last week in Irvine’s Silverado Canyon, is now nearly 100 percent contained, as of Monday, Nov. 2, according to Cal Fire.

In a Tweet Monday, Cal Fire give an update on the fire’s current summary as 10 hand crews and five bulldozers were working with more than 80 fire engines to reach complete containment.

“Crews worked thru the evening, establishing additional containment line. Today firefighters will patrol, mop-up, and continue fire suppression repair,” the Silverado Fire Incident Report Update read.

The Silverado Fire broke out early, Monday, Oct. 26, and caused the evacuation of more than 90,000 residents between Irvine and Lake Forest.

Two firefighters were injured during the first day of the blaze, and remain in critical condition.

The Silverado Fire has burned 12,466 acres, and is now 93 percent contained. While the cause remains undetermined, Southern California Edison is now investigating a “lashing wire” as a potential catalyst in igniting the fire.
