The fires are all grouped in a 35-acre area, some in remote areas with no road access. Wildland firefighters, including rappelling crews, are battling 12 of the blazes with the help of bucket drops from helicopters. Several of the fires can be seen from the roads. "We would like to caution the public not to stop on the roadways when they are traveling through the park," a Facebook post from the park reads. "If they want to take photos, please use pullouts." The 25-acre Pumice Flat fire, located at the park's southern boundary, is 75 percent contained. Spot fires continue to pop up on the fire's north end. — Ryan Pfeil MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jul. 31, 2014 @ 10:55 am Updated Jul 31, 2014 at 1:55 PM » Comment or view comments   Reader Reaction »  STAY INFORMED   Email NewsLetter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. calendar Connect with MailTribune.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services Home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Announcements Obituaries Story ideas Since you asked Alerts Email Alerts RSS Feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Stay Informed   Email newsletter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
