Ground crews are continuing to work on the ground with heavy equipment, as well as two DNR helicopters to assist with transport and aerial surveillance.
Officials note that while fixed-wing aircraft are available, they are not anticipated to be needed.
The fire was initially out of control on Thursday evening, with an evacuation order issued for around 100 houses, cottages and cabins in the rural area.
The evacuation order was lifted Sunday morning.
However, there is still a road closure on Mooseland Road, although the closure has been reduced and is now between civic addresses 2124 and 2890.
