Fire Map

Here is the latest fire map:

The green is US Forest Service land and the dark green is designated wilderness area.

Things are still looking good in our area.

Fire Update

The Meriwether fire is now at about 32000 acres.

It is looking better for our area. The fire is mostly contained near our house and they have lifted the evacuation for Beaver Creek.



The fire is still burning a lot of ground a few miles North of us.

The picture below is of the burnout at American bar. The red arrow points to the house where the previous pictures were taken.

We also made the front page of the Helena newspaper. They have a picture of the bridge:

Here is a map of the fire. It is over 3 miles from our place. The American bar is at the lower left.

Each little square is one square mile.

The map was current at 8:00 last night. Today, the upper half of the right (eastern) boundary has expanded 1/2 to 1 mile further to the east.

The size of the fire is now around 11,000 acres.
