Shoshone Forest fire grows to near 900 acres

A wildfire deep in the Shoshone National Forest in central Wyoming is growing larger by the day. The Alpine Lake Fire made several significant runs on Monday, forcing the evacuation of an outfitter camp on Tuesday morning. No one was hurt. The fire also crossed over on to the Fitzpatrick Wilderness. The fire was estimated at 888 acres Tuesday. The fire is not being suppressed because of the extreme rugged and remote area where it is burning. But fire managers are monitoring it from the air.
