Warmer weather is helping crews eliminate heat on the Rum Creek Fire.

An update said the goal is to seek and destroy any lingering heat within 200-feet of containment lines. Fire crews are on track to meet all suppression goals and are winding down this weekend with operations expected to come to an end early next week.

Containment on the 21,347-acre fire is at 90 percent.

Heavy equipment and fire crews are still traveling and working along roads within and near the fire area. Those with weekend recreation plans that include travel near the forest should remember that recreational and road closures are still in place.
