The Crater Ridge Fire ignited on July 17 in a remote area in the Bighorn National Forest.

Since then, it has grown to 6,232 acres. Firefighters made substantial progress on the blaze when containment increased from 32% to 52% the weekend of August 28.

According to the federal incident management website, InciWeb, crews have worked to fully suppress the fire since the beginning.

That's thanks to the forest having a large number of dispersed camping and overall recreational use throughout the summer.
