The left northbound lane of Interstate 17 has reopened after being closed due to a wildfire that sparked Saturday afternoon.

Officials say the Table Fire is approximately 676 acres at 85% containment as of Sunday evening. It was reported to be 850 acres Saturday, but that number was lowered thanks to "more accurate mapping," according to the Department of Forestry and Fire Management.

100 personnel are assigned to attack the fire.

No further information is available at this time.

A separate wildfire in the Tonto National Forest has prompted the closure of State Route 87 at Bush Highway.
