Backburn pushes Pedro Mountain Fire to nearly 20,000 acres
The Pedro Mountain Fire burning at the northern end of the county is approaching 20,000 acres in size.
Much of the 3,000 acres that have burned since the start of the Labor Day Weekend were the result of backburn operations along the southern and eastern flank of the fire.
The burns were conducted to reduce fuel-supplies ahead of the flames. The fire, which has been burning for ten days, is 24 percent contained. Over 400 regional firefighting personnel are now assigned to the blaze.
Evacuations are still in place for the following areas: Pedro Mountain Estates, Pedro Mountain Ranch Road, and Cardwell Ranch. Natrona County Road 407/Carbon County 291, also known as Kortes Road, is closed from the intersection of Fremont Canyon south to Leo/Sage Creek until further notice.
