The Yellowstone National Park Beach Fire, which had grown to 520 acres and threatened to take out a large swath of the center of the Park, is now totally contained, with only some small smoldering patches left to burn out on their own. Active firefighting has ended; all that's left is the monitoring.

The Yellowstone National Park Beach Fire has been contained to the point where control of the firefighting effort will shift back to the National Park Service tomorrow, with other firefighters removed from the current effort today.

The Yellowstone Beach Fire remains at 520 acres, as its growth has stalled and more of it is contained by fire fighters; meanwhile, its growth potential has been downgraded by the fire fighters as well.

The Yellowstone Beach Fire continues to expand, but thanks to fire-fighting techniques and a favorable day of weather its growth has slowed dramatically, kicking off less smoke and moving at a more deliberate pace.

Here's the latest on the Beach Fire from the field: the fire's growth has slowed, it's partially contained, and it should stop moving when it hits the burned-out areas created last summer by the Arnica Fire.

The Beach Fire in Yellowstone National Park has spread to 385 acres, but the strategy to guide the fire to the burned-out areas created by the Arnica Fire last year appears to be working.

Thanks to the Mount Washburn Fire Lookout Cam in Yellowstone National Park, we have stop action of the Beach Fire in action, albeit from a long distance.

We have a report from the field about the Beach Fire in Yellowstone National Park: As of an hour ago the forest fire has expanded past 150 acres as gusty winds have pushed flames to surrounding areas, but a projected late-afternoon rain and the continuing presence of fire fighters is containing its spread.

Fueled by heavy winds and light humidity, the Yellowstone National Park Beach Fire has rapidly spread to over 150 acres in size despite efforts from firefighters to contain the blaze; they'll work again today to suppress its spread.

With the Arnica Fire a memory and the Grand Loop Road reopened to daily traffic, a normal end of the season looms for October in Yellowstone National Park.
