The Elk Fire in Big Horn National Forest, Wyoming, has grown to approximately 73,000 acres with only 10% containment. Since its start on September 27, 2024, controlling the fire has been difficult due to rugged terrain and dense timber. Authorities have closed Red Grade Road and nearby trails to facilitate firefighting efforts, while evacuation notices have been issued for areas at risk, including the Big Goose watershed and surrounding structures.
