State firefighters to combat blazes in Montana
A crew of 20 wildland firefighters will be sent to Helena, Montana to help battle a large fire that has burned thousands of acres of land.
The firefighters will be working to put out one of the nine large, active and uncontained fires that have already burned almost 46,000 acres across the state, according to the state Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR).
The department added that this is the first time a DCR crew is being deployed to assist with increased fire activity across the northwest, California and the Rocky Mountain states.
