All personnel and gear from the Pilgrim Creek Fire in the Teton Wilderness, have returned to home stations in preparation of wet weather coming into fire area Saturday night before strong winds would shut down aviation operations for safety. A recognizance flight today mapped the updated perimeter at 488 total acres. This increase in acres has been spread out over several days as we have not gained an accurate perimeter for many days. Current fire activity was on the NE corner and where managers expect growth to occur in the future. An increase in wind speeds before the forecasted weather front moving into the area the next few days, will heighten fire weather concerns.
