Wildfire Status:
The Frog Fire, which ignited on September 7, 2024, due to lightning, has grown to a size of 3,020 acres and is currently 100% contained. The fire was driven by dry fuels and wind conditions, but as of now, there are no visible smokes, indicating that the fire is fully under control. Fire officials continue to monitor the situation and have implemented a plan to ensure the area remains secure.
Fire response efforts have included the full containment of the fire, and there are no personnel actively engaged in firefighting efforts at this time. The Type 3 Team assigned to the Wapiti Fire is responsible for monitoring the Frog Fire, ensuring that there is no further growth. Current weather conditions do not indicate any expected fire growth, and only minor interior burning is possible, which is not likely to breach containment lines.
As the situation stabilizes, the area around the fire has been opened for public use, although visitors are advised to exercise caution due to potential hazards like downed trees and ash pits. The estimated date for complete containment is projected for November 1, 2024, as fire officials remain vigilant in their monitoring efforts for the coming days.
