SUNDANCE, W.Y. – Fire crews continue to fight the Fish Fire, 7 miles south of Sundance, Wyo. and east of Wyoming Highway 585.
Due to hot, dry, windy conditions, and steep & rugged terrain, the fire has progressed to the East and is threatening the Canyon Springs subdivision. Crews are actively engaged providing structure protection around residences.
Crews also worked to build containment lines while air attack resources, including two Type 1 (heavy) helicopters, a Type 3 helicopter and airtankers, made multiple retardant drops from the air.
A Multi Mission Aircraft (MMA) from the State of Colorado mapped the fire perimeter at 527 acres today as of noon today. The fire started on private land, is 0% contained, and human caused.
New evacuations were issued around 10 PM Monday down to 4 Corners in Weston County as the Fish Wildfire pushed south and southeast along highway 585 in Crook County – although according to Crook County Emergency Management, those evacuations were rescinded overnight.
Instead, it is an advisement to be ready to evacuate.
Residences South of Canyon Springs Road to the south end of the fire and east of Wyoming Highway 585 are still under evacuation.
Highway 585 between Sundance to 4 Corners is closed this morning due to the fire.
