The Lard Fire started on the afternoon of October 22, 2204. Combined long term drought, high winds, and low relative humidity ahead of a cold front caused rapid growth on the fire.  Firefighters and aircraft responded and actively began fire suppression efforts.  There was a drop in acres because of more accurate mapping. 

The fire is 100% contained
