Montana Blaze Rages as California Crews Gain Ground on Wildfire
The
biggest U.S. wildfire torched buildings and parched grassland forcing
evacuations in eastern Montana, The two-blaze Lodgepole Complex, the
biggest wildfire in the United States currently, was only 5 percent
contained on Monday while California firefighters gained ground on a
massive blaze in the Detwiler Fire.
The 215 firefighters have had to
rely on bulldozers and harrows to plow fire breaks since water alone
cannot put out the flames. The fires are driven by high temperatures,
lack of rain and gusty winds, said Tim Engrav, a spokesman for the
firefighter command center. The Lodgepole and Detwiler fires are
among the 38 large U.S. wildfires, the coordination center said.
