Authorities lifted evacuations Monday night after making progress against a fast-moving wildfire on California’s Central Coast that closed down a major highway and threatened dozens of homes in the area.

The vegetation fire in the Avila Beach area burned persistently through the afternoon of Monday and into Tuesday, according to California fire officials.

Officials said Tuesday morning that the fire had burned over 400 acres and was 20 percent contained, according to local media.

There was no immediate confirmation on what sparked the blaze.
