Rain Quiets the Wild River Fire, but the Road Closure Stays
Rain has given "significant wetting" to the Wild River Fire near Gorham, New Hampshire, and fire behavior is now minimal, mostly smoldering in leaf litter and downed wood, the Forest Service said on InciWeb on Tuesday, November 10. With the fire's potential to spread reduced, managers have begun cutting back resources, and crews are securing containment lines and watching for hot spots. A closure order remains in effect for Wild River Road (Forest Road 12) and the area north of it. The latest published figures are about 821 acres and 29 percent containment as of Sunday. A public meeting is set for 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Shelburne Town Hall and online.
