A prescribed burn that got out of hand and scorched 20 acres in the Cleveland National Forest was 90% contained Sunday.
The burn-off was started Friday near South Main Divide and Hacienda Road south of the Lakeland Village community, but when flames escaped the containment lines, it was declared a wildfire, according to Cleveland National Forest officials.
Smoke from the fire was visible to motorists on Interstate 15, prompting calls to California Highway Patrol dispatchers on Saturday.
Water-dropping helicopters helped the more than 280 firefighters on the ground make steady progress on the fire overnight.
No injuries were reported and the blaze does not pose a threat to structures, fire officials said.
