Taking the Bull Fire by the horns

Wednesday, August 25, 2010

By Benjamin R. Bombard

Jackson Hole, Wyo.-A fire east of Hoback Junction continues to burn and spread a month to the day after it began. The Bull Fire in the Gros Ventre Wilderness has grown to encompass 3,047 acres and is consuming trees, shrubs and grasses – pretty much anything it can get its fiery paws on.

That wily storm that blew in on Sunday did bring some rain with all its blustery winds, and the moisture helped reduce fire activity, said U.S. Forest Service Spokeswoman Lesley Williams. With two crews working on the fire, they seem to be getting a hold of it. Though the Little Granite Road, Bull Creek and Rough Hollow drainages were still closed as of Tuesday afternoon, the Highline Trail, Cow Creek, Bear Creek and Boulder Creek drainages were opened on Monday, and so was dispersed camping and fishing along the Granite Creek Road.
