Know before you go! Contractors are scheduled to perform magnesium chloride application on Greys River Road between milepost 0 and 14, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today, Thursday, Aug. 27.

Motorists may want to avoid the area during this timeframe. Those who drive the treated portion of Greys River Road during and after application may want to rinse off their vehicles to eliminate any residue. The product used for dust abatement is a slurry of magnesium chloride, the same product that is used to treat dirt roads throughout Wyoming. This product coats the road surface, but it can also adhere to the undercarriage of vehicles before it fully cures.

Roadwork schedules may change, or be delayed, due to weather conditions, equipment malfunction, or other extenuating circumstances.

The Bare Fire, in the Wyoming Range, is approximately 370 acres and 17% contained. Approximately 147 personnel are assigned to the incident.

Rain came through the fire area early Wednesday morning resulting in crews being removed from the burn area due to safety concerns. Trips, falls and overhead hazards are among the concerns. Once the rain stopped, firefighters were able to get back to work and gained additional containment. Fire activity has decreased due to moisture, but creeping and smoldering continue. The area received 7/10ths of an inch of rain yesterday morning. More rain is expected over the next few days.

Strengthening and securing the perimeter will continue to be the focus on Thursday. Hose lays and engines will be among the resources used, in addition to hand tools by the crews. Preparations have been made to pull firefighters off the mountain should weather be a repeat of Wednesday.

Showers and thunderstorms are forecast between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., with potential wind gusts around 40 miles per hour. The day is forecast to be cooler and cloudy. Rain totals between 0.25 and 0.50 inches are possible. Friday’s forecast is similar.

Smoke will continue to linger across the area due to ongoing wildfires throughout the western United States. For the latest air quality information, visit AirNow.gov

Both the Bridger-Teton National Forest and the BLM High Desert District have issued Bare Fire Area and Road Closure Orders to provide for public and firefighter safety. Both orders are available on the Bare Fire InciWeb page at https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-closures/wybtf-bare-fire

Stage 1 Fire Restrictions are in effect for the Teton Interagency Dispatch area, which includes the Bridger-Teton National Forest, Grand Teton National Park, and the National Elk Refuge. See Stage 1 Fire Restrictions Forest Order #04-03-26-304 at https://www.fs.usda.gov/r04/bridger-teton/alerts/stage-1-fire-restrictionsfor more information.

The fire danger rating remains “high” for the area, meaning wildfires can start easily and spread quickly.

The Bare Fire, in the Wyoming Range, is approximately 370 acres and 5% contained. Reported acreage has been further reduced to reflect more precise mapping. Approximately 147 personnel are assigned to the incident.

Fire managers designate portions of the fire as having containment when they have a high confidence that the fire will remain within the established perimeter. These fire edges might include fireline dug in by hand or dozer lines. They may also include natural barriers such as a rocky slope void of vegetation, a body of water, or other environmental features.

Weather continued to challenge firefighters Tuesday, yet they continued to make progress. No new spot fires were found and crews continued to gain ground. On the north side of the fire, steep terrain made it difficult to get water uphill, but crews got creative and were able to use hose lay to apply water to the fire. On the south side, teams worked from the edge of the fire to the heel, the slowest moving part of the fire. Winds kicked up in the evening, followed by showers, and crews working in some of the highest elevations were pulled off the fire. Air support also returned to home base ahead of inclement weather.

Much of the same firefighting tactics will be used today, including more securing of lines, the use of hose lays and the same complements of aircraft as weather allows. Reduced fire behavior is expected as precipitation and higher humidity are forecasted through the end of the week.

Sublette County Sheriff’s Office has downgraded their pre-evacuation notice to “Ready” for High Lonesome Ranch. The county utilizes the “Ready, Set, Go” alert system. Sublette County Sheriff’s Office and Sublette County Emergency Management will continue to provide updates as needed.

The Bare Fire, in the Wyoming Range, is currently 439 acres and 5% contained. Approximately 202 personnel are assigned to the incident.

Yesterday, 50 mile per hour wind gusts paused firefighting operations briefly, grounded aircraft, and prompted a pullout of firefighters due to safety concerns. Before the storm rolled in, fire officials walked the fire on the north side, finding heat in some areas of the perimeter. Hoselines were used to help cool down those areas. On the east side, hand crews worked to suppress hotspots. Drones were flown in the morning to check for heat.

Significant work remains on the fire today as heat persists across the area, and smoldering and creeping are expected. Firefighters will continue to reinforce the fireline to help keep the fire from spreading and strengthen containment efforts. Containment is defined as control line that has been placed around a portion of the fire and fire should not be able to cross. Today, a Red Flag Warning is in effect, however, winds are not expected to be as strong as yesterday. Dry conditions remain.

Safety is always top priority for firefighters. High winds and timber snags add to the everyday dangers for wildland firefighters.

The Bare Fire, in the Wyoming Range, is currently 443 acres. Approximately 202 personnel are assigned to the incident.

Fire managers are implementing direct extinguishment and indirect confinement strategies on the Bare Fire. A direct extinguishment strategy is when firefighters engage the active flame front directly to stop fire spread. An indirect confinement strategy is when firefighters work away from the active flame front to steer or contain the fire.

Yesterday, on the north side of the fire, crews completed constructing the line and will continue to secure line today. On the south side of the fire, crews continued to secure the fire line and saw minimal fire activity. Securing the line includes patrolling for hot spots, mopping up, and reducing the potential for spots across the line. Crews saw a few flareups but were able to extinguish them quickly. Work will continue today to strengthen containment efforts. Containment is defined as control line that has been placed around a portion of the fire and fire should not be able to cross.

Yesterday was a productive day for the fire operations despite adverse winds, with gusts up to 30 miles per hour. Hot and dry conditions are possible today, with a slight chance of isolated storms. Similar conditions are expected on Tuesday, but no storm activity is forecast.
