Teton Interagency Fire

Lightning struck a clump of trees out front of the Buffalo Fork Ranger Station in Grand Teton NP on Friday morning August 6. The blast was enough to ignite the deep duff under the trees and throw limbs down on the ground.  A quick response from contractors working nearby snuffed the flames until interagency federal and Jackson Hole Fire/EMS responders where able to get on scene and fully extinguish the fire.
