(Salt Lake City-AP) -- The fire burning in the Cascade Springs area of the Uinta Mountains is 95 percent contained.
Firefighters expect to have it fully contained by tonight and U-S Forest officials say they're starting to scale back the crews.
The fire's burned seven-thousand-790 acres since last Tuesday when a prescribed burn got out of control.
The cost of fighting the fire is already up to one-point-six million dollars.
Meanwhile, another prescribed burn is planned for tomorrow for Boulder Mountain.
About two-dozen firefighters will be on hand for that, but forest officials will have to make sure the wind and humidity are at acceptable levels before they start it.
