Refuge 1

On Friday afternoon county and federal firefighters responded to multiple 911 calls about a brush fire near the south boundary of Grand Teton NP along Highway 89.  Visitors initially doused the fires with water and ice until interagency wildland fire resources arrived on scene and extinguished the fires.  They appear to have been caused by a vehicle travelling northbound, throwing sparks along the road shoulder.
