Montana fires engulf homes, land
HELENA, Mont. — Gusting winds pushed range and timber fires out of control in several locations across Montana yesterday, destroying 30 homes and threatening hundreds of others in what the governor described as the worst fire disaster in 10 years.
No injuries were reported, although at least 107,000 acres had been blackened in 16 separate fires, authorities said.

propelled flames across treetops and tinder-dry grass while preventing, in many cases, the use of retardant bombers and helicopters.
The two largest fires became one yesterday, and engulfed 50,000 acres in the Bull Mountains between Roundup and Billings, in southcentral Montana. It was near Roundup that 30 ranch-type homes, scattered in the rugged hills, were destroyed.
An 8,000-acre fire 20 miles north of Helena, the state capital, threatened rural-residential areas and led to evacuations Monday.
About 400 to 500 people were told to leave their homes because of the 12,000-acre Houghton Creek fire west of Kalispell and the 2,000-acre Red
Owl fire southeast of Kalispell.
On the other side of Glacier Park, along its eastern edge, more than 1,000 firefighters worked to control the Napi Peak fire on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation.
Other major fires getting attention from several state and federal agencies included the Mount Centennial fire, which consumed 12.800 acres in north-central Montana; the 11.500-acre Murray Ranch fire, in the Pine Hills of southeast Montana; and the 3.000-acre Kirby fire, south of the Northern Cheyenne Reservation, also in the southeastern part of the state.
