Progression
The fire started on July 25 after a lightning strike,[2] and by 5:30 pm MST, the fire had grown to 300 acres. Multiple aircraft were assigned to drop retardant on the fire, but due to storm winds were ineffective.[1] By 9:00 pm the same day, the fire had rapidly grown to an estimated 1,618 acres,[1] and crews continued to work on the construction of a fireline.[1] By the morning of July 26, crews had continued to work on securing firelines, and the fire did not gain acreage.[1] Late on July 27, activity from the fire began to flare up again, covering 2,954 acres by 9:00 pm. Containment on the fire reached 10% around this time, as crews continued to maintain established firelines.[1]
By July 28, the fire had reached its peak size, covering 3,059 acres. Containment on the fire also reached 35% as retardant drops were carried out against the fire.[1] On July 29, containment had jumped to 50%,[3] and by July 30 the fire was declared 100% contained.[1][4][2]
