The fire broke out on July 29 near the Ross Lake Recreation Area. The fire, caused by a lightning strike, is believed to have burned just over 1,800 acres.
, the fire is 5% contained. Unfortunately, steep mountain slopes and rolling debris throughout the area are presenting firefighters with quite a challenge.
