Firefighters are getting more aggressive in attacking a wildfire threatening the town of Jackson. Firefighters were able to conduct burnout operations Wednesday afternoon to help deny the fire fuel within established fire lines. The 2,700-acre Horsethief Canyon Fire is burning south of the resort town next to Snow King Mountain. The fire is about 10% contained. Cooler weather and lighter winds are keeping the fire from making any big runs. About 1,000 residents remain on alert to be prepared to leave in case the fire gets too close. No evacuation orders have been issued, and the community's tourist activities are unaffected. The fire has been ruled human caused but remains under investigation.
