Evacuation orders were lifted for hundreds of people and Highway 1 was fully reopened Wednesday after firefighters contained 60% of the Colorado Fire, five days after it was was sparked along the Big Sur coast, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The cause of the Monterey County fire, which was announced in a Cal Fire investigation on Tuesday, was attributed to hot embers from a pile burning operation.
