Chimney Fire 2024

The Chimney Fire is not currently threatening any structures and is a safe distance away from communities. Most of the fire growth occurred in the early days of the fire.
 

The terrain is remote and rugged. It is possible that the fire could impact grazing allotments, sage grouse habitat and recreation trails in the coming days. Objectives include holding the fire north of Lime Creek Road and providing point protection of infrastructure and values at risk. Warmer and drier conditions with gusty winds will increase spread potential. 

A local Type 3 incident management team assumed command of the fires from Southwest Area Complex Incident Management Team 4 5 p.m. Sep. 19, 2024.
