Signal Flats Fire forward progress stopped

Teton Interagency Fire crews at Grand Teton National Park successfully stopped forward progress of the Signal Flats Fire, which started on the afternoon of Saturday, July 26. The estimated size of the fire is just under 8 acres. Signal Mountain Road will remain closed until further notice.

Aerial support from two helicopters played a key role in slowing the fire’s growth by dropping water from nearby Jackson Lake. Firefighters on the ground held the fire by digging fire lines around the perimeter.

Firefighters will continue to monitor the fire overnight. On Sunday, crews will focus on securing and improving existing fire lines and beginning initial mop-up efforts, using water pumped from a nearby pond to cool remaining hot spots.

A USDA Forest Service Type 2 Initial Attack crew from Helena, Montana, is assisting Grand Teton National Park with suppression efforts.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

An additional update will be provided Sunday, July 27.
