| episode_narrative | The Berry Fire continued to burn slowly to the northeast over the first 10 days of September. However, the approach of a cold front on Sunday, September 11, whipped west-southwest winds to frequent gusts between 35 and 40 mph. On the same day, relative humidity dropped to between 10 and 15 percent and temperatures climbed into the 70s. This combination resulted in extreme fire behavior and the fire spread six miles to the northeast during the afternoon and evening consuming about 6,000 acres. The fire twice crossed US Highway 89/191/287 impacting approximately three miles of road. This closed the popular access route between Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks until 1230MST on Tuesday, September 13. Evacuations were also ordered at the Flagg Ranch, the north entrance station to Grand Teton National Park, and a forest service campground. Cooler and wetter weather arrived in the wake of the cold front and areas near threatened structures were secured. By Saturday, September 17, no further growth was seen and the fire was essentially contained. The fire claimed 20,825 acres but no structures. Please see the August 2016 Storm Data publication for more information about the start of this wildfire. |
