A wildfire that shut down part of Highway 38 near Yucaipa is mostly contained, and the road has been re-opened, the U.S. Forest Service said Saturday.
The 100-acre blaze, dubbed the Mill Fire, started Friday shortly after 2 p.m., a spokeswoman said, on Yucaipa Ridge about a quarter mile from the Mill Creek ranger station in San Bernardino County.
By Saturday morning, the fire was 60% contained. Firefighters expected to contain it completely by 6 p.m. Saturday, and bring it under full control by Sunday morning. Highway 38 in the area was closed Friday afternoon, but re-opened at about 7 p.m.
The fire did not threaten any buildings, firefighters said.
