Fawn Fire is now burning on an estimated 500 acres, with smoke visible in Mammoth Hot Springs, Gardiner, and around West Yellowstone, Montana.

It was a somber week in Yellowstone National Park and surrounding areas, with multiple deaths and losses on the record, some tragic, some part of everyday life. On the plus side, it was the week where the Beach Fire was totally contained and Vice-President Joe Biden gave some inspirational remarks to Park workers. Here's the list of the most popular new stories on Yellowstone Insider the past week, as ranked by page views.

The Yellowstone Beach Fire is almost totally under control: it's stayed at a size of 520 acres for several days now, and firefighting crews estimate that it's almost three-quarters contained.

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.
