Cariboo fire crews had the Pelican Lake Fire 100 per cent contained by Monday after moving to the mop-up stage Sunday.
The Wildlife Management Branch said the fire reached 164 hectares in size, but had focused on neutralizing the hot spots in the few active areas the day before.
The Cariboo Fire Centre deployed 41 firefighters, one helicopter and one piece of heavy equipment to manage the fire located 80 kilometres northwest of Quesnel and 10 kilometres east of Pelican Lake.
It still has 16 firefighters on sight and one helicopter on site, as well as 25 local contract firefighters to patrol the fire over the next few days.
At its height, there were 60 workers, five pieces of heavy equipment, four helicopters, four airtankers and two skimmer aircrafts used to fight the blaze.
It was never considered an interface fire, which means urban and wildland are likely to meet and the fire could affect homes or other structures.
This type of fires is typically more complex and require a multi-agency approach.
It was also the same location as a 2010 wildfire near Pelican Lake which was more than 43,000 hectares.
The Pelican Lake fire was one of four fires that was sparked by lightning Friday night.
Initial attack crews also worked on three small fires in the Big Bar area and one small fire southwest of Quesnel.
Airtankers provided support to one of the fires near Big Bar on Saturday night and crews were mopping up the fire by Sunday morning.
