Skillet Fire Grows Amid Rough Weather | Bozeman News
Description
A massive wildfire near Olney, now at 2,494 acres with zero percent containment, is raging under worsening weather—warmer, drier conditions fueling fierce growth, especially on south-facing slopes. Over 300 firefighters are battling the blaze with burnout ops and rapid response to spot fires, while building fire lines and water systems along western roads. Evacuation orders remain in place for Good Creek and Alder Creek residents, with national forests closing trails and campgrounds and a no-fly zone enforced. Crews are also protecting homes and historic sites like the Elk Mountain Lookout with fire-resistant gear. A community meeting tonight at 6 PM at the Olney Fire Department will update locals—stream it live on the Flathead National Forest Facebook page.
