The Muir Creek ***** is southwest of Mount St. Nicholas, about 4 miles north of U.S. 2 above the Fielding Cutoff Trail between Park Creek and Coal Creek. It was first reported on Tuesday, July 23. Glacier Park officials said the incident was immediately managed as a full suppression ***** due to its location, predicted weather conditions and limited availability of national firefighting resources. Helicopter rappelers were flown in for the initial ******* on Wednesday morning. The rappelers established incident command and directed aviation resources in dropping water on the ***** when it was 8 acres in size. Despite these efforts, ***** activity increased in the afternoon, and the ***** grew to approximately 30 acres, officials said. Glacier National Park firefighters were expected to monitor and patrol the ***** Thursday. Management will transition to the Type 3 Incident Management Team on Friday.
