250 Evacuate as Wildfire Spreads, Burning Homes
The burned remnants of two homes were found in the ashes of a wildfire that spread three miles in two hours and forced about 250 families to evacuate.
More than 100 families were allowed to return, but the homes of those who were kept out of the area south of Missoula were still threatened.
Winds up to 55 mph pushed the fire to 5,200 acres in less than two hours.
