The wildfire burning in New Hampshire forest land adjacent to the Maine border is now 59 percent contained.

The Forest Service says the Wild River Fire in the White Mountain National Forest now covers 817 acres, which is a reduction from recent days.

The agency says fire behavior is minimal at this point and is primarily smoldering in fallen leaves. Smoke continues to thin out and be dispersed.

Two Helicopters and an Unmanned Aerial System are still being used to treat the fire, and there are 87 personnel on the scene. There were 144 people working to contain the fire a week ago.

The Forest Service says safety remains the top priority with high winds increasing the possibility of trees being blown down, as well as other hazards.

A forest closure remains in effect in the Wild River Fire area.
