By shortly after 3 p.m., firefighters had stopped forward progress of the blaze, though air units and firefighters continued to mop up and douse hot spots.

No homes were damaged in the fire, which had burned toward the Lynn Ranch area, said county fire Deputy Chief Chad Cook. It was mapped at 14 acres, officials said.
