Update 4:30 p.m. Aug. 26, 2024
Rain and some snow fell on the fire burning about seven miles southwest of Togwotee Pass in Bridger-Teton National Forest on Sunday night and into Monday morning. Crews have now contained a little more than 20 percent of the approximately 11,000 acre Fish Creek Fire.
More than 300 people are currently helping manage the fire. Highway 26/287 over Togwotee Pass re-opened on Saturday morning after being temporarily closed on Thursday, August 22. Speeds are capped at 45 miles per hour through the area, as visibility may be reduced due to smoke.
Residents of the Brooks Lake, Pinnacle Drive and Breccia Drive area are still at a Level 2 Evacuation, meaning they should be ready to leave at any moment. The nearby century-old Brooks Lake Lodge remains untouched.
Residents of Teton and Fremont counties are encouraged to sign up for their county’s emergency alert system.
The weather in the area is forecasted to be sunny, with no significant precipitation events. The latest updates about the fire will be posted to InciWeb.
