Crews pulled back to a contingency line and conducted a burnout operation to eliminate fuel between the control line and the wildfire, slowing the fire's advance.
Crews are fanning out from the fire's edge into Wyoming in search of areas where firefighters could directly engage the flames with a high probability of success.
According to fire managers, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office asked the few remaining residents in Parsons Draw to leave well ahead of the fire's advance.
