The smaller wildfires began Tuesday and eventually joined together. According to the forest system, the wildfire grew in warm and dry conditions and windy conditions. Although it warned about reduced visibility due to smoke on that section of state Route 93 as well, the forest system said that there had been no road closures and no impacted trails as at Thursday.
