SUNDANCE, Wyo. – The Fish Fire in northeast Wyoming is now 98% contained.
It is currently being managed by the Wyoming State Type 3 Incident Management Team 3 led by Incident Commander, Timothy Sherwin.
Firefighters continue to work on completing and improving line, checking for remaining heat and repairing areas disturbed during the fire suppression efforts.
While fuels will continue to dry and temperatures will rise as the week progresses, no to low rates of fire spread are expected to continue for the next couple of days. This will aid firefighters in their progress towards full containment. The number of personnel has been downsized to 178; remaining resources include 3 crews, 14 engines and 2 bulldozers.
The fire remains at 6,793 acres burned.
A reconnaissance flight will take place today to evaluate fire status and conditions. This gives the fire managers a different perspective then from the ground, and ensures that no areas of the fire needing additional attention have been missed.
