Publication Type: News 09/12/2022
Current Situation:
Data gathered from aerial flights conducted yesterday mapped the fire perimeter and current acreage at 2624, with most of the fire growth occurring Thursday evening September 9th. The fire is located in remote and rugged terrain. This fire is being managed under a full suppression strategy, ensuring all actions reflect a commitment to incident personnel safety and public safety. Operational plan for today:
Crews will continue to assess structure protection in Washakie Park and the St Lawrence Ranger Station. All divisions will work direct on the fire line, conducting mop-up operations and securing the fire line for containment opportunities. The Wyoming UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) mod, equipped with an IR camera will conduct flights to give firefighters an aerial view of both the fire line and any spot fires that may be outside of the main fire perimeter. The Type 1 helicopter and the two Type 3 helicopters will continue water drops in communication with ground crews to work areas of heat.
