Frog (IDSTF)

Wildfire Status:

The Frog Fire, which ignited on September 7, 2024, due to lightning, has reached a total size of 3,020 acres. Following a period of rapid growth driven by dry fuels and wind, the fire is now fully contained, with 100% of its perimeter secured. As of October 22, 2024, there are no visible smokes, and fire officials will continue monitoring the area for any potential flare-ups in the coming days. The predominant fuels involved in the fire included timber understory and dry climate shrubs, which contributed to its initial spread.

Fire management efforts have transitioned to a monitoring phase, with a Type 3 team assigned to oversee the Frog Fire as part of their responsibilities for the Wapiti Fire. No active firefighting personnel are currently deployed at the site, reflecting the progress made in containment. The estimated containment date is set for November 1, 2024, indicating that while the fire is contained, ongoing vigilance is necessary to ensure its stability.

Weather conditions have played a significant role in shaping the fire's behavior. Currently, no significant fire growth is expected over the next 12 to 48 hours, with some interior burning possible but unlikely to breach containment lines. The area has recently been cleared of hazards, although the public is advised to exercise caution when entering fire-scarred zones due to potential risks from hazard trees and debris. Overall, the situation reflects a successful containment effort, with fire agencies shifting their focus to long-term monitoring.
