Clouds and the end of triple-digit heat helped firefighters battling the Stouts wildfire in southwest Oregon.
Fire spokesman Dave Wells says the blaze is only 3 percent contained, but crews made good progress on the fire lines and some evacuated residents were able to return.
The fire burning in forestland east of Canyonville has scorched 23 square miles, and kept about 35 families from their homes.
Another 100 families along the Tiller Trail Highway have been told to prepare to leave.
The flames have yet to burn any homes. No injuries have been reported.
More than 1,000 people have been assigned to fight the wildfire that started Thursday. The cause has not been determined.
High temperatures this week are forecast to be in the 80s and 90s.
