Jackson, Wyo., August 21, 2024 – Strong winds produced large growth of the Fish Creek Fire on the Jackson Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest on Wednesday, August 21, 2024. Dry conditions and strong winds are expected to continue throughout the week, which may increase fire growth.
What is smoke and where does it come from?Smoke can come from wildland fires, both prescribed fires and wildfires.How much smoke wildfires or prescribed fires make, how long it lasts, and how far it travels all depend on the number of fires in the area, how big they are, fire behavior, fuel types, weather, and topography.
