The U.S. Forest Service says the Merced fire has now been fully contained. The blaze burned about 30 acres south of Groveland.
Firefighters will remain on the scene for a few days mopping up the blaze five miles east of Greeley Hill.
No homes were threatened. It was burning near a heavily-used campsite.
