Fish Fire Update

Fish Fire Now 10 Times Larger

Fish Fire

Note - the photo above is several days old. The Fish Fire near Sundance is now more than 10 times the size when this photo was taken.

Sturgis Bikers will notice smoke and road closures

The forest fire near Sundance WY in the Black Hills remains out-of-control. Temperatures near 100-degrees have hampered fire crews.

6,668 Acres Burned so Far

Here is a press briefing by one of the incident chiefs today, Aug 3.

20 percent contained

Hot temperatures are still in the forecast, including abnormally hot night on Wednesday, which makes the fire less likely to "lay down" after dark.

Road Closure area

Quite a large area is closed to travel as firefighters fight the blaze.. Map below.
