The Short Draw Fire in Campbell County, Wyoming, has rapidly escalated to over 20,000 acres and remains 0% contained as of September 12, 2024. The fire, affecting both Wyoming and southern Montana, has prompted urgent evacuation orders for residents in the Border Line Estates and Ranchets areas, with damage assessments ongoing due to some structures being lost. High winds and dry conditions have exacerbated the fire's growth, necessitating the mobilization of fire crews and heavy equipment from both states. Despite some recent rainfall in the region, the unpredictable wind patterns pose significant challenges for containment efforts. Local officials report that resources are stretched thin due to the active fire season, with multiple fires burning in the area. The cause of the Short Draw Fire is still under investigation.
