Firefighters continue fighting three of the four wildfires that were sparked by lightning Friday evening.
The Barnes Butte Fire has been completely contained as of 5:45 a.m. Saturday morning.
However, firefighters say they are still trying to contain the other three.
The Lakota Point and Flynn Creek Fires are both 95 percent contained.
Overnight the Aristocat Fire grew to an estimated 1,200 acres, but firefighters say they expect to fully contain the fire later Saturday.
