The fire up Lost Horse canyon is still burning although progress is being made according to the news. It is 5% contained, 117 personnel assigned to it, and it is 322 acres in size as of 28 June. This is from the Forest Service inciweb site:
At approximately 4:30 p.m. this afternoon there was unexpected fire
behavior on the eastern edge of the perimeter. The fire jumped the
eastern ridge and burned laterally appox. 100 yards downslope to the
east. All crews were pulled off of the line due to the extreme fire
behavior. As of 6:00 p.m. an air tanker was dropping retardant on the
fire with a load and return out of Missoula. 3 more air tankers have
been ordered.
Sounds like they are increasing the air support as there is already 4 helicopters assigned to it and they have dumped over 100,000 gallons of water. They are getting this out of Como Lake.
