  Monday July 13 at 11:44AM Units responded to the Big Falls/Vivian Creek area regarding a fire. The fire is reported to be just inside the Wilderness boundary near the Vivian Creek camp area. As of this afternoon the fire is still being fought with aircraft and ground units and is about 2 acres with a slow rate of spread.
  
  The picnic area and trail head are closed as of this time and will remain closed until the fire is under control. If you had plans to hike on the Vivian Creek trail, you may need to postpone. More info as I have it…
