Several areas of Jackson have been evacuated.
There's a fire in Jackson, WY, that started across the street from the Virginian Hotel (hence the name). We rolled into Jackson about 5 PM and the fire had already burned the scrubby dried grass on the mountain across the street from the hotel. It was spreading around the mountain and threatening downtown. The firefighters are working hard to keep it on the mountain and away from the town.
Helicopters are dropping water on the flames
Nearby homes have been evacuated, but there are not many homes in this particular area.
The ground cover is dry and it's a hot day (for us) so the conditions are right for a blaze. I hope they contain it soon.
