The Forest Service says it's 90 percent contained and should be fully under control tomorrow.
Helicopters launched the final attack on the fire yesterday ... dropping water and combustible ping pong balls.
The effort blanketed the area in heavy smoke -- but forestry officials say it's doing more GOOD than harm.
200 firefighters are still at work on the fire.
Several have been injured.
One remains hospitalized for smoke inhalation, and another suffered second-degree burns on his hand.

Smoke from that fire -- and yesterday's firefighting efforts -- could be seen for miles.
A large plume rose into the sky as crews completed the aerial ignition process.
A steady breeze drove some of that smoke into the nearby town of Glasgow.
People who live there say they understand the smoke isn't going to cause any serious trouble for them, but it's still a nuisance.

For two weeks - Salt Lake City police said Elizabeth Smart's
younger sister was threatened by the alleged abductor to keep quiet - or
he would harm Elizabeth.
Now, police say -
(SOT/CAPT. SCOTT ATKINSON, SALT LAKE CITY POLICE )
"No conversations were made between the younger sister, and the suspect
at any time."
(NARR:)
Not only that, but police also say the younger sister saw the
suspect not once, but TWICE - in two different locations in the house.
But that's as much as investigators would say.
(SOT/CAPT. SCOTT ATKINSON, SALT LAKE CITY POLICE )
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you where the second place was that he was
seen."

For the Smarts - it was another peculiar twist --
(SOT/ANGELA SMART, (DUMKE) AUNT )
"As family members we are trying to figure it out, we would love to know
just as well as anyone else."
(NARR:)
It was also another reminder that although the story may change, so
far the outcome has remained the same.
(SOT/ANGELA SMART, AUNT )
"We hope that the man who took her will realize needs to be with her
family that we love her that we care about her and we want her home, she
needs to be home."
(COWAN ON CAM TAG)
"This morning - volunteers will once again fan out across Utah to look
for any sign of Elizabeth - and police haven't ruled out interviewing
Elizabeth's younger sister again, to see what if anything else she has
to offer. Lee Cowan, CBS News, Salt Lake City.
