Yellowstone fire grows to 110 acres

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — A lightning-caused fire in Yellowstone National Park has grown to about 110 acres.

The Butte fire has been burning since Sunday near the summit of Druid Peak, along the Northeast Entrance Road, about 16 miles southwest of Cooke City, Mont.

It is well away from any park attractions, roads and structures, so park managers are letting it burn for now.

No trails are closed because of the fire.

The National Park Service reports 15 fires in Yellowstone this summer. Thirteen of them were caused by lightning. So far, all but the Butte fire have been less than a half-acre.
