A wildfire burning south of Wendover in eastern Nevada is still expected to be fully contained by July 18th. 

The Forest Service says the 1,966-acre Goshute Fire started June 25th west of U.S. Highway 93 Alternate. 

It's 85% contained and burning in steep, rugged and inaccessible terrain. 

The initial cause of the fire was believed to have been caused from a lightning strike but has since been changed to undetermined.
