"Recent heavy rainfall has considerably helped extinguish deep pockets of hot spots," Murphy said. "Upcoming weather, including a forecast with potential snow, will also help in containment."

Lightning also caused this fire. The Ridge Fire covers about 500 acres, 10 miles northwest of Marquette. It sits north of the Dead River Basin and west of County Road 510.
