Firefighters continue to make headway today on the Seminoe Fire, burning 30 miles northeast of Rawlins, Wyo. Fire managers report that the 3,425- acre blaze slowed in its growth, due in part to some rain on Monday evening and cloud cover today. Crews made progress on the north and west flanks of the fire, while
helicopters suppressed the fire on the south and southwest areas. Roughly 300 firefighting personnel has been requested for the fire, with crews from Wyo., Ore., Utah, Alaska, Mont., Colo. and Idaho responding. The fire, actively burning grass, sagebrush, juniper and ponderosa pine in steep, rugged terrain, is located an estimated one mile north of the Seminoe Dam. There was tree torching during the moderate fire growth today. Fire on the steep, rugged terrain on the east side is being suppressed by firefighting air craft. Ground crews are working on the southwest corner and the west side of the fire.
