‘North Fork Fire’ reported at Glacier Rim river access
The Kalispell Interagency Dispatch Center logged a small (1/4 acre) wildfire at 8:45 this morning at the Glacier Rim river access area. The log entry indicates two helicopters and two engines were dispatched to deal with it. I saw no evidence of smoke and no equipment on-site when I passed through the area just after 9:00 am.
UPDATE: The fire is now listed at 1/10 acre with an engine on the scene.
