Fire crews with the Bureau of Land Management say a fire burning north of Burning Man is now 90% contained.Â
The 15,859-acre Cherry Gulch Fire started near Mahogany Mountain on the north end of the Pine Forest Range (about 8 miles south of Denio).
The cause is still under investigation.
Additional engines and crews have been ordered.
Weather conditions and terrain continue to be a challenge.
