<HTML><b>Wolf</b>: This fire is located 1.6 miles west of White Wolf at 7575' in elevation. It is primarily burning in red fir and lodgepole pine leaf litter. There are patchy and broken fuels between the fire and White Wolf. This fire has a moderate potential for growth and is being monitored daily. The fire is 26 acres in size with active flame along 30% of the perimeter. It is visible from the Tioga Road area near Siesta Lake, where an information board has been installed. Adjacent trails and facilities remain open. A National Park Service Fire Use Module is staying at White Wolf Campground, and an Information Officer has been assigned to the incident. The Wolf, Lukens and Morrison Creek Fires together form the Wolf Complex.
