The Blue Hills Fire is currently estimated at 300 acres and is burning in tall grass fuels. High winds and rough topography are making control of this fire difficult for first responders.

Heavy equipment has been engaged on the right flank of the fire and is putting in firebreaks along fire edge. Aircraft is being utilized on the fire as well. Three single engine air tankers are on scene along with one large air tanker.
Evacuations: Currently, campgrounds on NPS property have been evacuated and evacuations have been ordered for residents of Bugbee. Evacuees can go to Celebration Church in Fritch Tx, for refuge.
