At 6:00 a.m. this morning, the Northern Rockies Incident Management Team took command of the Sandstone Fire, which also includes the addition of nearby smaller fires Blister Creek and Thunder Mountain. The fire is currently burning in the 2006 Blister Fire burn scar, where there is dead and down fuel and steep, rugged terrain. Fire management objectives include a full suppression strategy.
