Incident Overview
The Wesley Fire has grown to 16,010 acres with 100% containment. The fire area has received significant snow and rain in the past 6 days.
The Fire Area Closure Order has been lifted. Please use caution if entering the fire area. Potential hazards include falling trees, rolling rocks and debris, and occasional flare ups if fuels dry out. Forest visitors may continue to see smoke from burning logs and duff over the next several days; little to no fire spread is expected. An updated map of the fire perimeter can be found on inciweb.org.
