Excerpt from CST's "BLAZE Blog"
This entry is from the Casper Star Tribune's "Blaze Blog." It is covering a special evacuee meeting that they held tonight:

Lot of info to pass on from the meeting tonight, which featured a Q&A with federal, state, county and nonprofit officials. I’ll start with the two questions I’ve received so far here.
The first, from Mike Hopkins: “I heard the eastern end of the fire is stable, but does that mean containment with breaks and backfires (on the eastern end)?”
Short question, long answer.
The Type 1 Incident Management Team — Type 1 is the highest priority — is now in charge of the fire, and their top man said Wednesday that the fire is divided into four sections. There’s a supervisor on each one, and resources are doled out to them based on priorities. Divisions A is on the north, and Rowdy Muir, the commander, said it’s burning itself out on that side. The west side falls in Division A, and received the most attention today as Blackhawk helicopters dropped buckets over the afternoon flareup that made that side of the mountain look volcanic. Though the fire roared down into the valley and jumped Highway 220, Muir said that crews contained it, and its descent actually will help extinguish it sooner. Division V, on the south side, is reaching low fuel areas and burning itself out. Divisions B and C are the ones nearest the east and west sides of the mountain, and they are receiving highest priorty. Muir said he’s “stolen” helicopters and crews off of other fires throughout the nation to help in Casper. On the east side, near Micro Road, he said that area’s been contained. Residential areas such as Beartrap Road are still several miles away from harm. Hogadon is secure as of this writing. But winds are expected to get strong tonight — he said he’s heard reports of 50 mph — so there’s still concern until the fire’s been 100 percent contained.
The second question, from Linsdsey, is “Have they been able to contain any of the fire yet.”
Yes. Muir said about 30 percent, up from zero Wednesday morning, had been contained. He said about 9,600 acres have burned so far.
(This is part two of the meeting notes:)
At the City Hall meeting tonight, the audience, containing mostly evacuees, had many of them for the officials in charge. There’ll be a story in the paper tomorrow, but no way could I address all the topics on deadline. I’ll delve into some here.
Q: What percent of the fire should be contained before residents can get back on the mountain? From Rowdy Muir, a national respondent in charge of fighting the Jackson Canyon Fire: Let me assure you, that every fire I went on went out. (Laughter, applause.) My best guess, is, and don’t come after like ‘You said.’ If we get the resources that we ordered (that’s additional crews), and they get here, then six days for containment.
He said the fire must be contained not just around the ring it creates, but from the inside as well. He later said 10 days was more reasonable.
Q: When can people get back on the mountain? Muir: We have to secure that Division B and Division C (see “Empty Notebook for explanation of Divisions). That can honestly take a bit.
Q: How is FEMA involved with this fire? From Bill Crasper, Wyoming State Forester: The role of FEMA on fire suppression efforts, is they have a program called a Fire Mitigation Grant. The theory behnd it is to prevent a disaster from happening, so they help financially with suppression efforts with counties and states, so we can call resources, the heavy helicopters the real expensive resources that the county fire distric or state couldn’t afford to do. That’s what mode we’re in now.
Crasper said FEMA will reimburse the state and county 75 percent of elligible costs for fighting the fire.
