Narrative:
[Aircraft X] checked on and I advised him to expect vectors around an active fire fighting tfr for a visual approach. After a couple vectors and descents; he was crossing the 6700 ft. And 6000 ft. MVA (minimum vectoring altitude) line. I realized he was already level at 6000 ft. I called the airport and cleared him for visual approach once he called the field in sight. I called the supervisor over and told him that I may have issued 6000 ft. To the pilot. When the supervisor listened to the tapes and I did clear him to 6000 ft. And he read back 6000 ft.
