Residents evacuated by a 400-acre fire burning west of Pinedale are being allowed back home. Fire managers were letting residents return Thursday night. The Chall Creek Fire, which started Sunday, is 30% contained. The fire had threatened 13 homes but no buildings have been lost. The cause isn't known. Meanwhile the fight against a wildfire that once posed a threat to the town of Jackson is ramping down. The 3,400-acre Horsethief Canyon Fire is 83% contained. Full containment could come as early as this weekend. In northern Wyoming, the roughly 8,050-acre Gilead Fire near Buffalo is 47% contained. It was started by lightning in the Bighorn National Forest on Aug. 14.
