3 p.m.:CalFire crews have the upper hand on a fire that has scorched 300 or more acres of brush in the hills east of St. Helena that began on Friday afternoon. Firefighters gained full containment of the Deer Fire, named because the fire originated along a stretch of Deer Park Road, at 6 a.m., Sunday morning.

Crews are expected to gain complete control of the blaze on Monday morning according to CalFire. Flames destroyed one residence and two outbuildings and two firefighters received minor injuries during the course  of their duties.
The cause of the fire was reported to be a spark that was generated when a truck went off of Deer Park Road and struck a rock. Through Monday, fire crews will patrol the fire lines and do an extensive mop-up of the area. All roads leading to the area have been re-opened and all residents have returned to their homes.

" Thank You to the army of firefighters from all over the Bay Area!! I heard that there was a fire truck stationed at every house along Crestmont. We are very fortunate, indeed. Thank you to NVR blog host and all the bloggers who kept us informed in such a timely fashion. "
