[Canyon] 9ish fire update

[Tom Fiddaman]

I can see headlamps working around the spot fires on the high slopes. 
Three cheers for our BCRFD, USFS, and other fire crews!

A variety of notes:

----------------------------

Talked with Usfs.  They are putting all the resources they can on it 
tonight and tomorrow - Bob Petit, Bridger Bowl

------------------------------

Thank you for all the fire updates as I worry about my Bridger Canyon 
friends. I now live on the west side of the Bridgers north of Sypes and 
Middle Cottonwood..  The wind and the flames here have seemed too  have 
picked up significantly within the last 15 to 20 minutes. It's very 
visible from my house. We noticed the fire when it for started this 
afternoon about 2:30 and it just took off.  It appeared to be right on 
the trail straight south of the M.

Stay safe, Colleen Carnine

Fortunately, the wind has shifted and the fire has now stalled out so it 
is no longer advancing along the ridge of the Bridgers.  New trees are 
occasionally bursting into flames but they are isolated and burning on 
their own.  No more planes or helicopters at work so it looks like all 
aerial efforts to control the fire have been put on hold.  Fire trucks 
are still stationed in the canyon presumably on guard for a significant 
flare up.  With any luck, things will just smolder overnight and renewed 
aerial efforts tomorrow can knock the fires out completely.  Despite the 
anxiety this has undoubtedly created for all involved, given the wind 
conditions we experienced just a few days ago, we have much to be 
thankful for.  Hope everyone can sleep well tonight and that tomorrow 
brings an end to the drama.
