Berry fire estimated at 13,177 acres

The Berry Fire was estimated at 13,177 acres Wednesday. The lightning caused fire began in the norther portion of Grand Teton National Park on the west side of Jackson Lake.

High winds pushed the fire across Jackson Lake and into the Teton Wilderness of the Bridger-Teton National Forest on August 22.

Highway 89/191/287 is now open. There are still area and trail closures within the forest, Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park.

The fire is being managed for ecological benefits. Firefighters re working to protect structures at Flagg Ranch and the north entrance of Grand Teton National Park.

Fire managers say the probability of fire reaching the Ranch and north entrance is low, but crews will remain there and be available if necessary.
