A prescribed burn that got out of hand and scorched 20 acres in the Cleveland National Forest was now 100% contained, Cal Fire Riverside reported this evening.
The burn-off 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 Saturday.
Water-dropping helicopters helped more than 280 firefighters on the ground make steady progress on the fire overnight.
No injuries were reported and no structures were threatened, fire officials said.
