Wyoming wildfires are showing little growth thanks to a lack of hot, dry weather that is plaguing neighboring states. The state's largest fire has burned about 24 square miles in the Shoshone National Forest. However, it has grown little over the past few days and firefighters are content to just monitor it for now. Several smaller fires are burning in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, and two in Yellowstone National Park. The two Yellowstone fires are in remote areas and not threatening any park facilities or campgrounds. Wyoming has enjoyed cool temperatures and afternoon rainstorms in recent days, helping to keep fire activity down. Meantime, Idaho and Utah have both seen hot, dry weather that has prompted red flag warnings in areas bordering Wyoming.
