Teton Interagency Fire Fighters have been dispatched to two more fires – these near Pinedale and of undetermined causes. A swift response from local fire crews Sunday helped to catch the Willow Creek fire and prevent it from growing.
Firefighters have completed a control line around the fire’s 2-acre perimeter and will now focus on holding that line and working to eliminate any fire threats within the perimeter of the fire. Resources include county and federal fire engines and the local interagency fire helicopter.
Yesterday, a Twin Falls helicopter has delivered two firefighters adjacent to the ½-acre Twin Lake fire. This fire is under a full suppression strategy and burning in a mixture of heavy dead and down fuels.
The helicopter will support resources on the ground with water drops from a bucket. Fire spread potential is moderate, and cause has not been determined.
