KEMMERER The Kemmerer District of Bridger-Teton National Forest has issued a closure order for the Shale Creek Fire including some access trails and forest roads. This closure allows firefighters to work with aviation and in rugged terrain without risking public in the area. The closure also provides for public safety if the fire spreads.
Firefighters made significant progress on the Shale Creek Fire on Tuesday, July 20, according to a press release. The fire grew minimally due to the combined efforts of aviation and ground resources. The fire’s behavior moderated but it remains active near the headwaters of Shale Creek on Indian Ridge east of Hams Fork River. Crews have found and suppressed nearly 80 spot fires, a challenge typical in subalpine fir forest. Fire on this recently burnt landscape can improve habitat for game and grazing.
