8:21 a.m. - The Wragg fire burning near Lake Berryessa has grown to nearly 7,000 acres. Light winds and cooler temperatures Thursday afternoon and evening helped officials contain more of the fire overnight.

Robby Richards from Calfire says the fire is about 20 percent contained. 

"Since last night, we're in the high 50s, low 60s and the relative humidity was roughly about 70 percent, which is great for us being able to get in there," says Richards. 

There have not been any injuries. Evacuations were lifted last night in the Golden Bear Estates Area. But evacuations remain in place for the Quail Ridge Community and Canyon Creek Area. A Red Cross evacuation center is open in Winters.

A wildfire started a yesterday in the hills by Lake Berryessa. I was lucky enough to live close and see the fire starting early. I quickly grabbed my camera gear and ran to go shoot some time lapses of the massive fire. I drove alls round Yolo county and parts of Winters to capture this footage.
