| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Ongoing dry conditions, along with unseasonably warm and gusty winds, allowed the human-caused Crown Mountain and South Moccasin Fires to quickly grow on the 4th of October. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The Crown Mountain Fire started within the Forest boundary of the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest some 15 miles southwest of Augusta, MT. During the initial three days, gusty winds, unseasonably high temperatures, and dry conditions resulted in active fire behavior and dangerous firefighting conditions for direct attack on the fire. These circumstances forced air and ground crews to disengage from the fire on 10/5 and 10/6. The fire is burning within portions of the footprint of the 1988 Canyon Creek Fire. The containment withstood winds exceeding 50mph on 10/9 and 10/10 ahead of a cold front that moved in. From 10/11 until present cooler conditions have prevailed with 2 inches of snow falling on the fire area on 10/12. |As of mid-November, the fire was 30% contained and had burned nearly 1,400 acres. |
