Update: 9/12/12 @ 9:45 a.m.

The fire burning south of Jackson, WY has now consumed more than 2,600 acres. JH Weekly reports that the source of the fire has been linked to 4282 S. Little Horsethief Lane, where a man was seen burning refuse in a barrel shortly before the fire started. The individual may face prosecution. Expenses related to fighting the fire is estimated to be $1.2 million.

Approximately 300 personnel are currently fighting the fire. Nearby fires—including the Casper Mountain Fire, which has burned 15,000+ acres—will likely draw some of the 300 away from the Horsethief Canyon Fire. Cooler temperatures on Tuesday allowed firefighters to make some headway. As a result, the area on evacuation preparedness notice has been reduced. However, containment of the fire was listed at just 10 percent on Tuesday
