Crews are cutting a wildfire in California's Santa Cruz Mountains down to size, aided by cooler weather.
Fire officials say the blaze, which has been burning since Thursday, is 85 percent contained and that they expect full containment later today.
Firefighters are also letting more people back into their homes, with only 15 now considered threatened.
The blaze has destroyed three dozen homes and consumed more than 4,200 acres.
