The Sand Gulch Fire burning in southern Colorado, just south of Wetmore, is 100 percent contained this morning.
The fire, which started on April 26, burned about 495 acres in the San Isabel National Forest near Cañon City, according to a news release from the U.S. Forest Service.
A crew of about 50 people and one engine will continue to put out hot spots this weekend.
Warm temperatures and low humidity are expected in the area this weekend, causing some unburned fuels inside the fire line to possibly ignite.
Crews will continue to patrol and extinguish any flare ups, as well as repair any topsoil damaged caused by digging the fire line.
Fire vehicles are still traveling on roads in and near the fire. Residents are asked to stay alert and be prepared for vehicles leaving and entering the area.
The fire was caused by lightening.
