Tag Archives: Beach Fire

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.

The fire danger in Yellowstone National Park has been low to moderate in recent days, but that's not stopped fires from breaking out in the Park. Today an aircraft spotted a small fire in the south-central section of the Park.
