• The Cliff Creek fire was discovered on the Bridger-Teton National Forest at 2:30pm on Sunday, July 17, approximately 5 miles north of the town of Bondurant Wyoming.
• Containment is at 10%.
• Great Basin Incident Command Team 7 has been brought it to manage the fire.
• The fire is being actively suppressed with a mixture of ground crews and aerial resources. Where fire is moving towards and into the Gros Ventre Wilderness and the wilderness study area, fire will be permitted to play, as nearly as possible, its natural ecological role in the wilderness.
• Fire objectives include keeping the fire south and east of the Granite Creek Drainage bottom and north of Dell and Jack Creek.
• Teton County Emergency Management issued a mandatory evacuation order for the Granite Creek area including Granite Campground, Granite Hot Springs, Jack Pine Summer Homes, and the Safari Club.
• The evacuations for the community of Bondurant have been lifted. All homeowners can return to their homes.
• Visitors who plan to visit the North Fork Fisherman Creek, please drive slow as the Incident Command Post (ICP) is located just off of the highway up this drainage. Please ensure you don’t set up a dispersed camp where firefighters have set up sleeping quarters.
