Missoula Fire

What a suprise to get done eating supper and look out the window and see a fire on the mountain. The fire was going up the Mountain away from Missoula. It started right at the city but went up instead of in the town. Two Kids were playing with a phone book and matches and that caught the grass on fire. It took about 24hours to put it out.

Fire from Glenn & Nette's house

The helicopters have 1,000 gallon buckets attached and they dip out of the river to drop water on the fires.

We drove a little ways closer to get some better pics.

We were about as close as the Police would let us get.

From the bridge beside the University of Montana where the fire started.

A picture of the area the next day when they had it almost out.
