YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo.— Firefighters have stopped the growth of a wildfire burning on the west side of Yellowstone National Park.
The fire is burning about 4 miles north of West Yellowstone, Montana. It has burned nearly 200 acres.
Officials say they have contained about 20 percent of the fire and expect to make more progress over the next couple of days.
About 80 firefighters, aided by air tankers and helicopters, have been working to put it out because of its proximity to West Yellowstone.
