Rain slows the advance of wildfire in Wyoming

PAHASKA TEPEE, Wyo. (AP) — The first significant rain in weeks Friday slowed the advance of a fire that threatened a century-old hunting lodge built by Buffalo Bill Cody outside Yellowstone National Park.

Also Friday, an evacuation order was lifted after the danger eased from a fire that burned three mobile homes and threatened 200 other homes in western Montana.

"Good news," said Terina Mullen, information officer for the Wyoming fire, which began Aug. 9 following a lightning strike.

She said one-tenth of an inch of rain had been recorded by early Friday.
