YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — A lightning-caused fire in Yellowstone National Park has grown to about 200 acres.

The Butte fire has been burning for more than a week near the summit of Druid Peak.

Smoke and flames may be visible from the Northeast Entrance Road to the park, about 16 miles southwest of Cooke City, Mont. Park managers say winds may carry smoke into Cooke City.

No roads, trails or campgrounds are closed because of the fire.
