More Current Fire Information: The Divide Fire is grew to approximately about 300 acres and is moving deeper in the wilderness in an easterly direction, as desired by fire managers monitoring the burn.    The fire is moving east towards Monroe and Knobb Lake and so far has not moved south or west. Trail closures and camping restrictions are being re-evaluated daily. Anyone who is concerned about their back country travel plans for this area should call the Pinedale Ranger District to find out the latest status. Hikers are being allowed out of the area as long as Forest personnel on the fire deem it safe, but no one is being allowed in from the trailhead. The Scab Creek campground is open. This lightning-caused fire is located approximately 1/2 mile south of Divide Lake in the Bridger Wilderness and was detected August 6th. The fire is burning in heavy lodgepole pine timber and is being managed as a wildland fire for resource benefit. While providing for increased resource benefits, this type of fire management action will limit the cost of the Divide Fire to approximately 30% of its potential suppression expense. Current information can be obtained by checking with the Pinedale Ranger District office, 307-367-4326. Check the Bridger Teton fire page and Teton Fires web sites for current press releases about fire conditions. Please be very careful with cigarettes when outdoors and remember that campfires are allowed ONLY in designated campgrounds.
