The number of active firefighters battling the Sand Fire has been going down this weekend, signaling that the fight against the fire is winding down, more than a week after the blaze initially started near the 14 freeway.

While the fire is still at 93% containment, officials readjusted the perimeter of the fire, adding approximately 3,000 acres to the burn area and bringing the total number of acres burned to 41,432 acres.

Currently 1,038 personnel, 42 engines, six helicopters and seven bulldozers are still actively involved in suppressing the blaze.

On Friday, firefighters did controlled burns near Camp 9, to prevent the spread of the fire north, away from the eastern front where the last active flames are being fought.

Only three road closures are still in effect.

Sand Canyon Road and Placerita Canyon Road going into Bear Divide, as well as Little Tujunga north of the Wildlife Waystation are all closed while crews work to mop up the last of the fire.
