Since the fire first started near the Bedrock Campground, over 155 first responders have contributed to slowing down and taming the flames which have now burned upward of 6,100 acres of land.

The Forest Service is asking if any of the public has any photos or videos from when the fire first started on July 22 or any information that would prove helpful in finding the cause of the flames, to visit SM.FS.R6TipHotLine@usda.gov and submit that information.
