This fire between Yellowstone National Park and Cody, Wyoming has not made any major advances in the last couple of days. It has burned 61,433 acres and is being managed as a Confine/Contain fire. Paul Broyles' Type 1 Incident Management Team reports this morning:
Yesterday's Activity
Fire activity was again moderate with little perimeter growth. Most of the active fire behavior was in the Jim Creek and Trout Creek areas where the fire burned out some interior pockets of bug-killed trees. Firefighters successfully burned out an area between Elephant Head and Goff Lodges and secured fire lines in the vicinity of Star Hill Ranch. The northeastern flank of the fire advanced up the Robbers' Roost Creek Drainage some distance, but remains several miles east of the Rattlesnake and Dead Indian Creek drainages.
Today's Planned Activity
Firefighters will focus efforts on securing fire line in the Robbers' Roost Creek drainage to stop its northward spread. Crews will mop-up and finish securing fire lines near Elephant Head and Goff Lodges and the Star Hill Ranch. Structure protection efforts will remain in place in all areas of the fire as needed. Helicopter support will aid their efforts as wind conditions permit. Crews will begin retrieving pumps and hoses from areas of the fire where they are no longer needed and will be available for initial attack response.
Today's Forecasted Weather
Temperatures: Mid 80's
Humidities: 9-16%
Winds: Out of the southeast at 20-30 mph.
