A packer riding out out the Teton Wilderness reported two smoldering logs in a small stand of green trees. The Teton Interagency Helicopter responded on Thursday and extinguished the fire.
This fire was discovered approximately 3 miles south of Bondurant, WY burning in mixed conifer above Miller drainage. Several firefighters from the Bridger-Teton NF and Sublette County Unified Fire, as well as a Type 3 helicopter from Teton Interagency Fire responded and began suppression efforts.
Lightning the afternoon of August 24th started the Skull Creek Meadows Fire, located northeast of Mount Leidy. The fire was located and sized up early evening by the Teton Interagency helicopter. Five Firefighters from the Teton Interagency Fire Module will staff the fire early Tuesday morning.
The Pass fire was the result of an August 24th late afternoon lightning fire. Four Teton Interagency Firefighters responded to the tenth acre fire.
The lighting-caused Iron Rim Creek fire was sized-up early evening by Teton Interagency Helitack. Six firefighters will staff the fire early Tuesday morning.
Forest visitors in the Blackrock area detected this abandoned campfire while it was still in the smoldering phase on August 12th. The campfire was not completely extinguished and started to creep and burn into the roots of the adjacent fir trees. With the predicted red flag warnings and forecasted high wind speeds, this fire did have the potential to develop into a larger fire requiring more firefighter support, air resources, tax payers money and even threaten the Lodge located less than 1/4 mile away and to the east. This was the 171st campfire found on the forest this season.
