Crews are making progress containing a fire in Yellowstone National Park.

The Beach Fire is burning about seven miles west of the Bridge Bay Campground.

The 520 acre fire was 72 percent contained as of this morning.

Crews are mopping up on the north side of the fire. They are patrolling the west, south and east perimeters and five helicopters were supporting suppression efforts.

Firefighters are using an area already burned by the Arnica fire last year to keep the current blaze from spreading.

The cause of the fire hasn't been determined yet.
