Teton Interagency Fire

The Dollar Lake Fire burned in the Green River Lakes area of the Bridger-Teton National Forest's Pinedale Ranger District. The fire was reported at 2:16 p.m. on Thursday, August 21.

Dollar Lake is located along a 25-mile dirt and gravel road that follows the Green River through the national forest. The road is a popular camping and recreation site. In a matter of hours on Aug. 21, the wind-driven fire grew from 20 acres to 600 acres in size. The fast-moving fire prompted the Sublette County Sheriff's office to immediately issue a road closure and evacuation of the area.

The cause of the fire has not been determined.
