As of 3 p.m. today, Cal Fire had reported that the Lockheed Fire near Bonny Doon in the Santa Cruz Mountains has consumed 6,843 acres.
But it is 50 percent contained, and the mandatory evacuation order for Bonny Doon residents has been lifted.
Fire officials have said no homes have been lost in the fire that started close to 7 p.m. Wednesday. The cause is still unknown.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger visited the area Saturday, and Lt. Gov. John Garamendi declared a state of emergency for Santa Cruz County on Friday.
More than 2,165 firefighters have fought the Lockheed Fire, named because it’s near a Lockheed Martin Corp. Space Systems facility.
Cal Fire reports that the cost so far is $6.2 million.
Evacuation orders remain for the 300 residents of the mountain communities of Swanton and Davenport.
