California wildfire threatened 1000 homes in Bakersfield, Calif. on Tuesday. The wildfire was specifically located northeast of Bakersfield, and it had burned in steep terrain, causing the destruction of eight homes and 10 other structures, according to authorities. Though the California wildfire threatened 1000 homes in Bakersfield, residents of around 200 homes which were under evacuation orders have already been allowed to return home Wednesday evening.

The U.S. Forest Service said in a statement at 4 p.m. Wednesday, all evacuation orders and road closures are cancelled.

According to Kern County Fire Capt. Derek Tisinger, on Wednesday, the blaze near Lake Isabella has been 15 percent contained after it reportedly scorched some 5 square miles, roughly 3,400 acres, according to the Canada Journal.

Firefighters had to work in drought conditions, but they were able to stop the spread of the flames as the California wildfire threatened 1000 homes in Bakersfield. On Wednesday, danger remained therefore they continued building containment lines.

Tisinger said, "There's still huge potential here, especially with the dry weather. We're not out of the woods yet."

He added that eight single-family homes and 10 outbuildings have been destroyed since the beginning of the wildfire on Monday.

The Canada Journal reports that some 1,500 homes around Wofford Heights and Kernville areas remain threatened, and 200 of those homes are still under evacuation orders.

According to The Seattle Times, as the California wildfire threatened 1000 homes in Bakersfield, its cause was still under investigation.

Meanwhile, remaining residents to the north have evacuated due to a wildfire near Yosemite National Park. People from the mass evacuations were allowed Wednesday to return to their homes, reports the Associated Press.

The flames initially drove about 1,000 people from their Oakhurst homes. On Tuesday, roughly 400 evacuees were allowed to return while the rest were only allowed their return on Wednesday morning.

State fire spokesman Chris Christopherson said, "We're at the point where we're turning the corner with the progress we had last night and yesterday."

The fire has reportedly burned about 1 square mile. It began Monday and because of strong winds and tinder-dry conditions, it spread. However, it's already 65 percent contained, according to The Seattle Times.

According to the AP, two firefighters had injuries, though minor. Meanwhile, the cause of the blaze still remains under investigation.

On Tuesday, a road leading visitors to the park reopened. The park also remained unaffected.
