| episode_narrative | The Purdy Fire, located 24 miles east of Kelly in Teton County, was ignited by lightning on Friday, August 4. The fire was initially allowed to burn in an effort to benefit forest resources in the area (Wildland Fire Use incident). The fire increased in size from 1300 acres on Sunday morning, August 13 to 4980 acres on Monday morning, August 14 due to dry and windy conditions. The fire grew steadily over the next several days and crossed the Continental Divide on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 15. Rapid fire growth was again experienced between Wednesday, August 23 and Friday, August 25 when the fire expanded from 11,300 acres to 18,900 acres in size. At this time, the fire began to threaten homes in the Union Pass area, approximately 21 miles west of Dubois in Fremont County. No structures were lost in the incident. Final containment was achieved on Wednesday, September 20. The fire torched 22,613 acres, approximately 12,000 acres on the Bridger-Teton National Forest and the remainder on the Shoshone National Forest. Total firefighting costs reached $10.6 million. The ending of this event is provided in the September 2006 Storm Data publication. |
