**Start Date/Time/Location** The exact start date and time of the Thompson Hollow Fire are not specified in the available sources, but it is known to have started in the Michaux State Forest in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. **Size and Containment** As of the latest update, the Thompson Hollow Fire has burned 2,248 acres and is currently at 83% containment[1][2]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** Initially part of a complex incident involving multiple fires, the Thompson Hollow Fire and the Hammonds Rocks Fire were the primary focus. The fire expanded due to high levels of leafbed and downed, dry trees[3]. **Containment Efforts** The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) crews, along with local firefighters, have been working to contain the fire. Local first responders and the Department of Public Safety have demobilized, but DCNR crews continue to work on the fires[2].
