JACKSON, Wyo. — On Monday, Nov. 4, at 6 a.m., the Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF) plans to rescind the temporary road and trail closure (map) associated with the 89,930-acre Pack Trail Fire.
According to the BTNF, the weather forecast is predicted to bring fire-season ending conditions.
While the fire may not be completely out, visitors will be able to enter the closure area starting on Nov. 4. Caution is advised within and around the area of the fire. As with any wildland fire, hazards exist and will continue to exist after the fire is called out. Potential hazards include falling trees and limbs, falling rocks and flash flooding.
The Pack Trail Fire on the BTNF is currently 84 percent confined and has seen no fire growth over the past couple weeks, according to the BTNF press release. Favorable weather including snow, higher relative humidity and lower temperatures have helped crews get into the fire area safely and gain containment.
Firefighters continue to work within the perimeter of the fire “mopping up,” which means they are finding hot spots in the burn and extinguishing them so that the fire remains contained in the existing footprint.
