Incident Command PIO Celeste Prescott says it now looks like there is no fire along the Kashwitna River. A call came in reporting smoke, and aircraft were dispatched. After repeatedly searching the area, Prescott says the aircraft were unable to locate any burning or smoke in the reported area. The reason the fire showed up on the map has to do with Forestry’s procedures once a report is made and an aircraft is dispatched.

Celeste Prescott says the ground crews are still on-scene at the Montana Creek fires. She says the Montana Creek West fire did start smoking again at one point, but the crew was there to keep it suppressed. Both fires are still considered contained, but not out, yet.
