Natural caused start from lightning strike.
Several lightning strikes have been documented from the storms passing through the Teton fire area on 8/29. The Grey Hills fire is one of those strikes which had enough receptive vegetation at the base of the tree to smolder half a day before being detected by an ATV tour group riding in the area.
Smoke was reported 1/3 mile north of the AMK Research Station on the early evening of August 15, shortly after a thunderstorm had passed through the area. An engine crew responded on foot and located a lightning-ignited fire, smoldering in surface fuels on a slope to the east of Jackson Lake, on Sargents Point. The fire was suppressed on August 16 and controlled that evening at 0.1 acres. A squad re-visited the fire on Sunday August 18th and determined that the fire was OUT.
The Flat Creek fire was the result from a lightning storm passing over the Gros Venture Wilderness area in early August of this year. The fire never showed much growth or smoke. The fire experienced several high wind events and yet held tight and in place with only two days of visible smoke. Fire managers appreciated the collaboration with the local ranch and outfitters for their support in planning and preparedness.

The fire is under a full suppression action with the aid of four West Yellowstone Smokejumpers.

The Darwin Ranch in located less than 3 miles ahead of the fire and was first reported to Teton Fire Dispatch by the ranch.
This lightning caused fire has not been showing any signs of smoke or fire activity since July and was called controlled on 8/21.
The main objective was to keep fire from moving south, by employing a suppression strategy on the south end of the fire to protect values in the Buffalo River Valley. This strategy will utilize tactics on the ground that provide balance between achieving desired Wilderness resource objectives and limiting exposure to firefighters.
