A wildfire burning in the Crandall area has grown to 1,000 acres.

The Hunter Peak Fire is located 3 miles west of Hunter Peak and 3 miles south of Squaw Creek.

Evacuation orders for County Road XUX and the Squaw Creek area — which are home to a number of cabins — remain in place, Shoshone National Forest spokeswoman Kristie Salzmann said in a Wednesday evening news release. No structures have been lost, but 95 structures are currently threatened by the fire.

A variety of firefighting resources are already on the scene or have been ordered for the Hunter Peak Fire, Salzmann said. A Type 1 Incident Management Team will take command of the Hunter Peak Fire at 6 a.m. Thursday.

Two Super Scooper aircraft returned to the area Wednesday afternoon to help fight the Hunter Peak Fire; they're dipping water out of Buffalo Bill Reservoir once again. The speed limit for the North Fork highway along the reservoir has been lowered to 45 mph with no stopping allowed. The reservoir will also be closed west of the line running between Eagle Point and Spring Creek.

Other resources on scene or being ordered include three hotshot crews, two Type 2 initial attack hand crews, a strike force of engines, two Type 1 helicopters and one Type 3 helicopter.

The new fire came as crews were nearing full containment of the Whit Fire, which has consumed more than 12,200 acres near the North and South Forks of the Shoshone River. As of Tuesday night, some 84 percent of the Whit Fire's perimeter had been contained.
