Montana Fires Being Brought Under Control
In northeastern Montana firefighters edge closer to containment as the 15.30 acre Morehead fire near Broadus is brought under control while the Lodge Pole blaze near Jordan grows to about 1800 acres. Dozens of firefighters from Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Reservation work under blustery wind with spotter planes scanning for new outbreaks. Demobilization of Morehead crews is planned at about 300 per day to reduce airport traffic in Sheridan.
