The Mahogany Fire at Mount Charleston has been fully contained, officials announced Tuesday.
The blaze broke out on the afternoon of June 28 and was believed to be caused by a campfire, officials said last week.
Despite windy conditions Tuesday, the 2,758-acre fire reached 100 percent containment at about 4 p.m., according to the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.
Officials said the fire will still be monitored because of small hot spots.
