The Moose Creek Fire (#162) was discovered burning in a limited management option area Monday night. Typically, fires in limited area are left to burn in order to provide natural ecological benefits. However, because this is an early season fire burning a few miles from a public use cabin on BLM managed lands, fire managers decided to send eight smokejumpers Tuesday morning to put the fire out.
