Tin Cup fire spreads slowly
The lightning caused Tin Cup fire saw increased activity Thursday.
The Eastern Idaho Interagency Fire Center said the fire was highly visible from Highway 34, about 8 miles northwest of Freedom, Wyoming.
The fire is burning along the ridgeline between Jack Knife Creek and Marshall Canyon and spreading slowly to the southeast.
A Type 3 Incident Management Team is closely monitoring the fire and preparing a plan in case a more aggressive suppression strategy is necessary. Otherwise, the fire is being managed for ecosystem benefits.
The fire is likely to burn until the region sees significant precipitation or until it snows.
