A wildfire north of Clark, Wyoming in the Beartooth Mountain Range ignited Monday, June 14th, rapidly growing from about 40 acres in the morning to roughly 230 acres by the late afternoon. When it was first reported Sunday, the Robertson Draw Fire was burning mostly in sagebrush and grass. However, the fire moved into the timber in the Shoshone and Custer Gallatin National Forests Monday as Clark residents watched flames towering over mature trees and spreading quickly.
