The Milepost 97 Fire started at 10 p.m. on Wednesday night. When firefighters first arrived on scene it was reported to be 1/2 acre in size. But extremely steep and hazardous terrain has made it very difficult to stop the spread of this fire. As of this morning the fire is now almost 9,000 acres. This burn area map from yesterday shows just how steep the terrain is that the fire has been moving through.
