Wildfire doubles in size as it burns toward Glacier National Park
A wind driven Montana wildfire more than doubles in size from 19 000 to 40 300 acres advancing toward Glacier National Park. Firefighters battled 900 plus personnel as winds up to 40 mph hampered containment with eight to ten miles separating the blaze from Lake McDonald and Apgar Campground. Residents expressed cautious concern but not panic as authorities warned conditions could bring rapid growth.
