Fire crews will now focus on mop up and monitoring operations, according to ARP.
Firefighters lifted the voluntary evacuation of 11 structures on Smith Bridge Road about a half mile away from the fire Sept. 13.
The fire is located on steep terrain in mixed grass, brush and pockets of conifers in the area of the previous 2012 Hewlett burn scar.
The fire was sparked by lightning Sept. 11 and grew to over 100 acres due to windy conditions.
