| episode_narrative | Lightning caused the Alum Fire in a remote area south of Hayden Valley in Yellowstone National Park. The fire was first seen on Wednesday morning, August 14, and showed little growth over the following two days. However, a hot, dry airmass coupled with wind speeds of 10 to 20 mph whipped the flames on Saturday afternoon, August 17. The fire erupted from a Saturday morning size of 3 acres to an estimated 3,000 acres by the end of the day. The fire crowned in mature lodgepole pine and advanced six miles to the east-northeast in just a few hours. The hot and dry conditions continued into Sunday and the fire expanded by another 1,000 acres.||By Tuesday, August 20, the fire was close enough to threaten several tourist attractions, including Mud Volcano and LeHardy Rapids, and the Grand Loop Road. The proximity of the fire caused the closure late Tuesday afternoon of a seven and a half mile section of the road from near Mud Volcano to Hayden Valley. At one point the fire came within 200 yards of the road. The fire was estimated to be about 7,000 acres in size on August 21, when the road was re-opened to traffic. The fire topped-out around 7,100 acres in size by August 24, before beneficial thunderstorm rains dampened fire activity over the last week of August. |
