“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” says a familiar old saying; but that fire may not always be breaking news. Winds Friday afternoon rekindled a trash fire and the Jackson Hole Airport’s burn pit on the west side of the airport property. An airport fire unit responded and quickly re-extinguished the fire. One airport employee commented, “When people hear there is a fire at the airport, they always presume the worst.” The burn pit is a long-established location on the far side of the airport where scrap lumber and other pieces of unwanted wood products are taken and periodically disposed of by scheduled burns.
