From Lake George Fire Protection District:
Lake George Fire is currently on scene with US Forest Service working the #WilkersonFire. No official word on containment yet, but at this moment there is considerably less fire activity today than yesterday.

We are under a BURN BAN until further notice as we devote resources to fighting this fire. Please, no open burning or shooting.

Wind is really blowing now hope things are ok up there.

The #WilkersonFire has about 45 firefighters on scene consisting of USFS and Park County resources. The type 3 helicopter has been released. Resources engaged securing perimeter and mopping up hotshots. psiccfireinfo.blogspot.com/2018/09/activ...e-time.html?spref=tw

*Note: they probably mean mopping up "hotspots" not "hotshots."
