It appears the Red Peak fire smoldered for several days before detection. The fire was caused by lightning and was detected by two hikers in the area on July 10th. Two firefighters flew in on the interagency helicopter to complete suppress the smoldering fire and then hiked off the mountain for pick up. redtop fire.jpg
