Helicopters and what looked like farm equipment (cutting fire break?) were fighting the wildfire along with local fire departments.  It’s now contained and burned 101 acres (40.8 hectares).

Another fire is still burning to the northeast of the Marsh Creek Fire.  It’s called the South Toponce Fire. It’s not contained and has burned at least 60 acres (24 hectares).
