Lolo National Forest fires

MISSOULA, Mont. — Fire crews were working two small new wildfires in the Ninemile Ranger District after they were spotted from the air on July 17.

A Facebook post from the Lolo National Forest said both fires were started by lightning and measured about 0.1 acres. Because both spots were hard to reach, crews sent a helicopter to drop water and called in the Kootenai Rappel Crew.
