CIRCEVILLE, W.Va. — Fire crews have increased containment of the Woodside Fire in the Monongahela National Forest to 60% after recent moderate rainfall, officials said Sunday.

The wildfire has burned 385 acres and continues to be managed under unified command by the State of West Virginia and the USDA Forest Service. The cause remains under investigation.

Approximately 80 personnel are assigned to the incident. Firefighters took advantage of improved conditions following the rain to build additional handline and dozer line along the perimeter. Aircraft support was available but not required Saturday.

Crews will focus on strengthening containment lines Sunday by removing large, burning hazard trees and extinguishing hotspots. Weather permitting, crews may also conduct burnout operations
