This wildfire, located approximately 5.5 miles east-southeast of the Cold Meadows Guard Station, was sparked by lightning and is exhibiting active fire behavior within Farrow Creek. The ongoing monitoring of the fire has indicated that it is serving a beneficial ecological role within the Wilderness area.
