The Rosa Fire burning near Highway 74 is now 95% contained as of Monday morning, according to Cal Fire officials, marking significant progress in controlling the week-long blaze.

The fire erupted on August 4 and quickly spread through the Santa Rosa area, prompting mandatory evacuation orders and warnings that displaced residents from their homes. Many evacuees sought temporary shelter in the valley during the past week.

Cal Fire reported over the weekend that all evacuation orders have been lifted. However, one evacuation warning remains in effect for the area bounded by Santa Rosa Truck Trail to the north, Santa Rosa Road to the east, Saint Pierre Road to the south, and Palm Canyon Drive to the west.

The Palm Desert Community Center continues to serve as a temporary shelter for residents who still need accommodation.

Highway 74 has reopened to traffic, restoring access through the area affected by
