Containment is now up to 83% on a brush fire that started last weekend on the Central Coast.
The Front Fire is burning in the Los Padres National Forest about 30 miles northeast of Santa Maria.
No structures are threatened by the nearly 940 acre blaze, which started last Sunday.
The cause is still under investigation. Full containment is projected for late this weekend.
With continuing progress with the blaze, the number of people involved in battling the fire has dropped from a peak of more than 600 to around 400.
