Current Situation: On the Frog Fire, fire spread is limited by the discontinuous timber stands, which are broken up by rocky features and aspen stands. Rock screes are being used as natural barriers to contain the fire which has only grown 10 acres since September 13. The fire area is sheltered from the westerly winds by the high mountain ridges of the White Cloud Mountains.
Helicopters dropped buckets of water on the fire throughout the day yesterday, supporting fire crews working on the western edge of the fire perimeter. Some of the fire engines and equipment that have been patrolling the East Fork and Big Boulder Roads will be reassigned to the Wapiti due to the decreased potential for the Frog Fire to continue spreading to the north.
Evacuations: There are currently no evacuations related to the Frog Fire.
