Because of the very windy conditions, and the fear that <br />the fire might spread further, a dozer was sent to the area to build some <br />fire line and snuff out the hotter areas of the fire. <br />Disturbance is approximately 2 acres. <br />The cause of the fire appears to be coal left on top of the overburden blast <br />which caught fire then landed in the brush. <br />Today, we have people working on a couple of hotspots to insure that the <br />anticipated high wind conditions do not cause the fire to flare up and <br />spread. <br />All surface disturbance will be regraded, scarified and seeded this fall. <br />Please contact me if you have any questions. <br />Jim Kiger <br />Colowyo Coal Co.
