Frog
Wildfire Status:
The Frog Fire, which ignited on September 7, 2024, due to lightning, has grown to a size of 3,020 acres. The fire's rapid expansion was fueled by dry conditions and wind, leading to significant growth early in the incident. However, as of the latest updates, the fire has been fully contained, with 100% of its perimeter secured and no visible smoke reported. Fire officials will continue to monitor the site over the coming days to ensure stability and prevent any flare-ups.
Currently, no personnel are actively engaged on the ground as the fire is under a monitoring status. The incident commander, Jake Renz, has indicated that the fire is being overseen by a Type 3 Team, which is also responsible for monitoring related incidents such as the Wapiti and Corral Fires. The expected containment date for the Frog Fire is set for November 1, 2024, although no further growth is anticipated in the immediate future.
The weather conditions remain stable, contributing to the fire's containment. Over the next 12 to 48 hours, no fire growth is expected, although some interior burning may occur. The predominant fuels involved include short grass, brush, and timber understory, which have already been addressed through successful containment efforts. Overall, the situation is under control, and ongoing surveillance will help prevent any resurgence of the fire.
