Wild River Fire Reaches 53 Percent Containment as Crews Scale Back
Firefighters have confirmed their lines are holding along more of the Wild River Fire's perimeter, raising containment to 53 percent, the Forest Service said on InciWeb on Tuesday, November 10, up from 29 percent over the weekend. The fire near Gorham, New Hampshire, is smoldering in leaf litter and duff, and crews are mopping up hot spots while assigned resources are reduced after recent rain. The fire has burned about 821 acres, which the Concord Monitor reports is apparently the largest in the White Mountain National Forest's history. The closure order for Wild River Road (Forest Road 12) and the area north of it remains in effect.
