The fire is near Redington Road milepost 6. The blaze has burned 65 acres, but crews were able to stop its forward progress overnight. The cause is under investigation.

Fire engines and an air crew will continue work containing the fire and putting out hotspots through Monday, the U.S. Forest Service said.
