“We don’t anticipate further growth with our suppression efforts and weather,” said fire information officer Jody Lucius.
In total, 28 firefighters and two helicopters, one piece of heavy equipment and air tankers were on the scene Monday.
No structures were threatened, but smoke is highly visible from the surrounding area.
The fire sparked just before 4 p.m. Monday.
