Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeStrong 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_narrativeA wildfire began on the south side of Great Falls early in the morning of December 1st as the result of arson. This fire quickly grew with winds gusting to 50-60 mph, and spread into the Gibson Flats neighborhood, where it caused up to 65 people to be evacuated from their homes, and would ultimately burn 11 homes, 7 garages, and 11 outbuildings as the fire burned 112 acres before it was able to be contained. To date, this is Great Fall's most destructive wild fire.
