Crews declared the fire 100 percent contained Monday evening after putting out dense pockets of fuel where the fire was burning.
``We've made extraordinarily good progress,'' fire information officer Jon Kohn said.
Crews planned to conduct mop-up operations on the Davenport Fire on Tuesday and watch for any remaining hot spots, Kohn said. Two crews and a water-dropping helicopter will be assigned to the fire Tuesday.
Students who had been evacuated from the nearby Mohave Academy because of the lightning-sparked fire were allowed to return Monday.
The fire was burning on a ridge about 1,000 feet above the academy, but hotshot crews were able to reduce the fire's threat with a substantial fire line.
Firefighters also protected a lookout and communication towers in the area.
In the Capitan Mountains of southern New Mexico, firefighters were rehabilitating areas burned by the 64,488-acre Peppin Fire. Crews fully contained the lightning-sparked fire last Thursday, nearly six weeks after it started.
