Wildfire Status:
The Grave Butte Fire, detected on July 29, 2024, is a lightning-caused wildfire currently burning in extremely inaccessible terrain located ten miles west of the Jerry Johnson Campground. As of the latest update, the fire has spread to 23 acres. The challenging landscape has complicated firefighting efforts, and while the fire is being actively monitored, it remains a concern for local authorities and fire management teams.
Fire response is being coordinated by the Powell Ranger District Fire Management. While there are no official closures in the area, fire management has requested that the public avoid National Forest Service Road #107 due to increased traffic from firefighting resources. This precaution aims to ensure the safety of both the public and firefighting personnel.
Weather conditions in the area have been volatile, with outflow winds from surrounding thunderstorms affecting the fire's behavior. The combination of these winds and the rugged terrain presents additional challenges for containment efforts. As the situation evolves, fire management is focused on monitoring the fire's progress and implementing strategies to mitigate any potential spread.
