GORHAM — At approximately 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, USDA Forest Service, White Mountain National Forest, fire personnel responded to the Wild River Fire. The fire is located approximately 7 miles southeast of Gorham. The Wild River Fire is currently estimated to be roughly 300 acres in size.
Drought persists, and dry conditions are present throughout the fire area. The Wild River Fire is actively burning in timber, snags and leaf litter. Firefighters are responding with the goal of confining the perimeter as quickly as possible, while providing for firefighter and public safety. Gaining access to the fire is difficult due to steep and rugged terrain. Over forty personnel are currently assigned to the Wild River Fire. Use of unauthorized unmanned aerial systems, or drones, in a fire area endangers the lives of pilots and firefighters. Never fly unmanned aircraft over or near a fire.
