Firefighters in Sevier County are gaining some containment of a wildfire burning East of Annabella.

The Saul’s Mountain Fire began Wednesday night. The cause is under investigation.

The U.S. Forest Service reports 18.1 acres burned with 30 percent containment as of Thursday morning.

The estimate is lower than the 50 acres estimate Wednesday evening. The Forest Service says cooler temperatures resulted in low fire behavior overnight, allowing firefighters to secure East and West flanks.

Crews plan to mop up and secure the fire’s edge Thursday. The Saul’s Meadow Road is now open.
