White Mountain National Forest wildfire 29% contained after rain

A wildfire in New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest is now 29% contained, thanks in part to help from recent rains.

Officials say the fire has now burned 821 acres in an area about seven miles southeast of Gorham.

With the recent rain, crews are strengthening containment lines and watching for any areas that could flare back up if the weather changes.

If you live in the area, you can get an in-person briefing Tuesday from 6 to 7 p.m. at the town hall in Shelburne, New Hampshire.
