| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Strong winds continued to howl across the plains as December began, bringing widespread impacts to the region. These winds combined with an ongoing drought and resulting very dry fine fuels to create conditions ripe for the rapid spread and growth of fires that started. By 6am, crews were working at least three fires across North-Central Montana, one just south of Great Falls, one near Denton, and one near Browning. See episode titled High Winds to Start December for more information on the winds. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The West Wind Fire was first reported on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 as a start in Judith Basin County that quickly spread into Fergus County. High winds with gusts over 60 mph pushed the fire into the town of Denton, MT where multiple structures were threatened. 25 primary structures, 18 secondary structures and 6 commercial structures are destroyed, along with 100,000 bushels of recently harvested grain that burned in two grain elevators. The fire was caused by a powerline. |
