ROUNDUP - The Dahl fire is much quieter today. While still at just over 22,000 acres, firefighters say it's 95 percent contained.

Voluntary evacuations have been lifted, but the area is still restricted to residents only.

Crews continue to mop up along the fire perimeter around structures and patrol the fire area.

They say chances the fire will grow again are low at this point.

The 35 mile per hour speed limit on Highway 87 has been removed, but travelers are urged to use caution, as fire vehicles will be entering and exiting the roadway within the fire area.

Residents returning to their properties are encouraged to maintain their awareness and be alert to changing conditions.
