The East Rim Fire on public lands 10 miles northeast of Dove Creek had grown to 689 acres as of Monday and was about 25 percent contained. Officials with the Bureau of Land Management report efforts to battle the lightning-sparked blaze have been scaled back because fire weather has moderated. While 77 people were assigned to the fire on a single day previously, on Monday there were only 28.
