1. It's looking bad in a lot of places:Dozens of homes burn in southeastern Montana wildfires

ROUNDUP – Wildfires that have torched more than 200 square miles and burned
dozens of homes in southeast Montana spread farther Wednesday, triggering another
round of evacuations after a blaze south of Roundup jumped a perimeter line built by firefighters.

The growing, wind-driven Dahl fire, which has burned more than 60 homes by one estimate,
forced an unknown number of residents to leave their homes near its southern flank,
on top of an estimated 600 people evacuated the day before.

To the southeast, the Ash Creek fire near the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation
burned 18 homes and grew to 110,000 acres in less than 24 hours. Eleven homes burned
on the reservation and seven more on private land.

“That’s one of the most dangerous fires in the history of Montana,” Gov. Brian Schweitzer
said of the Ash Creek fire as he toured the region by airplane Wednesday.
