Lightning maps and fire cause of determination provided enough evidence for initial attack firefighters to establish the Tepee fire igniting on the morning of August 22nd after a lightning storm tracked over the Gros Ventre area of the Jackson District. Located 1 mile south and west of the main Gros Ventre road, the fire is under a full suppression strategy. The remaining two firefighters will hike off the fire on the afternoon of 25th, once the fire is in controlled status.

A controlled fire is defined as "The completion of control line around a fire, any spot fires therefrom, and any interior islands to be saved; burned out any unburned area adjacent to the fire side of the control lines; and cool down all hot spots that are immediate threats to the control line, until the lines can reasonably be expected to hold under the foreseeable conditions"
