Fires Rage West as Evacuations Expand | Bozeman News
Description
Wildfires rage across the West, with the Sand Creek and Bobcat Lakes fires now covering over 18,000 acres as crews battle under extreme conditions. Spot fires jumped the Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway, but firefighters held the main blazes west of the road and are reinforcing homes in Grasshopper Valley. Evacuations are underway south of Shale and Clark Creeks, with emergency shelters ready to open and help including livestock relocation and discounted lodging. Over a thousand cattle have been moved to safety by ranchers and volunteers, while night protection crews and additional Montana firefighters are on standby. Though no red flag warnings are active today, near-critical weather looms, with a possible warning tomorrow — and cooler, wetter weather may arrive further north midweek. Roads and campgrounds remain closed for now.
