A wildfire is burning between the Lewis & Clark Caverns and Three Forks and is approximately 240 acres as of Thursday morning. Crews are currently on scene and battling the fire from the ground and the air.
An investigation of the human-caused fire at the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park resulted in a suspect who was charged for discarding a lit cigarette in a hazardous manner.
It all started at approximately 2:30pm on July 15th, 2017 south of Lolo, Montana as lightning induced wildfire. 3 months later, the Forest Service issued their last update on this summer monster.
Although there are still several "active incidents" on the Montana wildfire roster, the snow that we've received in September has drastically improved conditions. It might be the most welcome snow we've ever seen.
