Kezi 9 news reporter tyler jones has been covering this fire all evening..

And is live in the area with the latest details.

Tyler?

Chynna..

Row river road has been reopened to through traffic..

And the level one evacuation lifted for residents in the area.

But this roughly 60 acre fire..

Has residents worried about what the rest of the summer will look like.

Right now..

This fire is ten percent contained..

And crews have been able to dig lines around 40 percent of the fire's edge.

The fire did burn down one home in the area..

But four others have been saved.

I spoke with a man that lives near that home that burned..

And he says he's worried about what the rest of the summer will look like.

"we just had this mountain logged last year so there's -- right here in front of me there's about 15 brush piles that should've been cleaned up in the winter time that weren't.

So, we're definitely on-edge and worried about that."

Fire officials say they have about 150 personnel out here working on this fire..

And they'll likely be bringing out more hand crews to help with the mop-up.

Right now..

Power is out for residents between dowens road and shoreview drive.

Officials say power should be restored first thing in the morning.

The cause of this fire is still under investigation.
