  1. Incident update InciWeb

    Moose Mountain

    Moose Mountain is a wildfire started by lightning and burning approximately 4 miles north of Kelly Forks Campground and Guard Station. The Moose Mountain Fire has burned down to the North Fork of the Clearwater River prompting a closure of that section of Forest Road #250 in Black Canyon. On August 22nd, warmer, drier weather increased fire activity and contributed to spotting along the eastern perimeter. The fire crossed a predetermined Management Action Point, triggering a fire area closure and a change in evacuation status from READY to SET.
