ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Firefighters working the Chimney Fire on the west side of the Sandia Mountains expect to complete their containment line around the blaze Monday afternoon.
Previous reports had the fire 70 percent contained after charring about 20 acres in a very steep and rugged area.
The La Luz and Piedra Lisa trails are open again, but their parking lots are closed because firefighters are keeping their equipment there.
Investigators are still trying to figure out how the fire started and say it's possible lightening started it.
