sheep_herder ★ Posted July 23, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 23, 2017 200,000 acres is burning northwest of Jordan, and so far no containment. Been burning for a few days, but it jumped from 70,000 acres to 100,000 acres and then to the current size in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The largest 2-weeks ago was 7,000+ acres and killed a few sheep, etc. This large fire is 50+miles WNW of Jordan, and Jordan is about 84 miles north of Miles City.

maddmaxx ★ Posted July 25, 2017 Share #13 Posted July 25, 2017 It's good to hear about neighbors helping neighbors. I think that might be one of the strengths of the midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2017 Share #14 Posted July 25, 2017 A few of us are on standby for a western fire crew. I won't get to go this time as we are leaving Thursday for Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we come back in next Thursday we will stay somewhere near Duluth that night. Friday we head through the UP to the Alpena area. Saturday we drive home.
