Just over 400 firefighters and personnel are assigned to the Front Fire that broke out Sunday afternoon off of Highway 166.
There are no longer any evacuations in place. However, numerous trails and areas in the forest are closed so firefighters can continue their work.
Fire officials aim to have the fire fully contained by Sunday at noon.
