A wildfire in the southeast part of Yellowstone National Park had burned 13 square miles Sunday, and officials positioned fire hoses around the historic Lake Hotel as a precautionary measure.
Fire spokesman Bob Summerfield also said sprinklers have been set up around the perimeter of the Lake Village area and that other structures are being wetted down with fire hoses in case flames arrive.
He said the lightning-caused Arnica Fire that was only 2.5 square miles on Saturday is burning about 3 miles from the Lake Village area. The blaze, which had grown to 13 square miles, or 8,300 acres, also is about 2 miles northwest of Bridge Bay with small spot fires within a mile.
