Episode Details

Two wildfires rage in the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest—one in the Elkhorn Mountains, the other in the Little Belt Mountains. Firefighters are battling steep, rocky terrain and hazardous dead timber, with roads closed and drones grounded near Elkhorn and Leslie Lake. Cooler temps and lighter winds offer a reprieve, reducing fire activity Sunday, though crews still tackle spotting on the northeast flank. Multiple crews, helicopters, and heavy equipment are deployed, using fuel-reduction tactics and leveraging an old burn scar to slow one fire’s spread. Officials remain vigilant, adjusting strategies to secure perimeters and contain the flames.
