A wildfire can be seen raging in the hills over the town of St. Ignatius, Montana late Tuesday evening Sept. 5, 2006 on the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Indian Reservation in Western Montana. Another fire in western montana near Big Timber has destroyed 26 homes and 20 other buildings, remained estimated at 180,000 acres, or more than 280 square miles. The lightning-sparked blaze had been spreading mostly to the east and the north before a wind shift last week sent firefighters and equipment scrambling back to the fire's western edge.
