Fire investigators say initial evidence suggests the Reynolds Creek Fire in Glacier National Park was human caused and the Park Service is seeking help from the public in tracking down any sightings of people in the area at the time of the fire.

Park visitors that were hiking in the area of Reynolds Creek on the Gunsight Pass Trail or that may have been staying in or hiking through the Reynolds Creek Backcountry Campground, from July 14 to July 21, are encouraged to call 888-653-0009 or email nps_isb@nps.gov.

The fire was first reported at approximately 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday, July 21, approximately six miles east of Logan Pass.  To date, it has burned approximately 3,200 acres in a swath about eight miles long from near Reynolds Creek to Two Dog Flats in a corridor along the Going-to-the-Sun Highway.

The fire as of this morning was 56 percent contained, with 670 personnel on the fire. But there is a red flag warning up this afternoon for high winds and dry conditions over the blaze and hot weather with highs in the 80s and 90s are expected this week.
