Teton Interagency Fire

The 0.1 acre fire was discovered on Sunday, August 23, though smoke reports from rafters and scouting had been ongoing in prior days. The fire is located on the west shore of the Snake River, one mile west of Snake River Overlook. The fire burned in duff within a grove of spruce, and evidence of a campfire led to determination of human-caused ignition. 

A Type 5 incident commander, plus a trainee and two firefighters, are suppressing the fire. The fire has low spread potential and does not present any suppression challenges.

Fire was abandoned campfire in the Bridger Wilderness. Members of the public took suppression action until firefighters from the East Zone of the Bridger-Teton National Forest could hike in to put the fire out.

An illegal campfire spread into adjacent ground fuels. A wildland fire crew responded and suppressed the fire at 0.1 acres. The fire was along the lake and near designated campsites. Campfires in the backcountry of Grand Teton National Park are only permitted in designated sites with fire grates.
