Montana Wildfire
U. S. Highway 2, near Glacier National Park, was reopened Sunday, just a half-mile from a wind-whipped wildfire. Authorities escorted traffic on the highway along the southern edge of the park in northwest Montana. Fire managers warned that it could be closed again if the blaze flared up like it did Saturday, when wind kicked it across control lines.
“We are hitting a couple of hot spots with some helicopters, trying to keep it from moving to the south,” said Dale Warriner, fire officer.
