Cody, Wyo. August 29, 2024—The Clearwater Fire on the Wapiti Ranger District of the Shoshone National Forest remains at 1966-acres with 91% containment. The fire was downgraded to a type-4 incident earlier this week and transitioned back to local leadership. 

Resources remaining on the fire have been busy repairing some of the disturbance caused by suppression efforts along with removing hazards along the Elk Fork Road, Trail, and in the Campground. With these obvious hazards removed and danger from active fire passing, the decision has been made to lift all closures associated with the Clearwater Fire. Numerous hazards remain in the fire area so please be aware of dead trees where roots could have been weakened by fire along with steep slopes that no longer have small vegetation holding soil in place. 

This will serve as the final update for the Clearwater Fire unless significant changes occur.
