Wild River Fire in New Hampshire Grows to 29 Percent Contained, Acreage Revised to 821
The Wild River Fire in Coos County, New Hampshire, stood at 821 acres with containment up to 29 percent as of 11:21 a.m. on November 8, with full containment projected for November 12 — clear progress from 856 acres and 20 percent containment on November 6, according to the latest incident update.
The fire is burning in the Androscoggin Ranger District of the White Mountain National Forest, about seven miles southeast of Gorham and roughly one mile west of the New Hampshire–Maine border; it started on November 1. Rain fell over the fire area on the night of November 7 and into midday November 8, and the fire is mostly smoldering in hardwood leaf litter with flames up to about four feet, though northwest wind gusts near 40 mph, drought and dry fuels are keeping it active.
Wild River Road and the forest north of it remain closed. No homes are threatened and no injuries have been reported. Officials say the cause of the fire is undetermined and remains under investigation.
