[Geysers] Road Closures in West Yellowstone Area

[Graham Meech]

There are a couple of good sites for fire information.  National fire
information is available at:

 

http://www.nifc.gov/fire_info/nfn.htm

 

The site has links to other agency information for the bigger fires
including the Madison Arm Fire which has detailed information and maps at:

Reported as being 3100 acres on June 29th.  I hope everyone stays safe.

The Madison Arm Fire near West Yellowstone has increased in size this  
afternoon, and several roads are temporarily closed in the West  
Yellowstone area.

I don't have an update for today (Friday, 6/29), but for the information --
yesterday morning the fire was reported as 900 acres, and it flared up
considerably during the day. At 5:30 flame was visible from Highway 191 (as
we drove out for the traditional Bill's-Eino's Giant celebration). The
Baker's Hole Campground, which had been evacuated on Wednesday, was again
evacuated as a precaution (oh, what fun Jere has had, and he had to miss
yesterday's Giant because of it). However, we've actually had little smoke
in town and seem to be safe here. A lot of the back, forest service roads
are closed but no main routes.
