A 15,470-acre wildfire continues to burn Tuesday on the Crow reservation southwest of Crow Agency.
The Davis Coulee remains 0 percent contained as of Tuesday afternoon, according to MT Fire Info, the state's fire database.
Seven engines and two helicopters have been assigned. No structures have been threatened.
Fire officials said they are focused on securing the line with support from air tankers and helicopters. Due to steep, rugged terrain, ground crews are accessing the fire on foot. Hot, dry conditions and ongoing drought continue to make fuels highly receptive to long-range spotting and fast-moving fire behavior. With shifting weather and unpredictable winds, firefighter safety remains the top priority.
Eighty-five personnel are fighting the fire.
The fire was reported Monday, and fire officials have not released a cause.
Customers at Big Horn Electric Co-op temporarily lost power from the Yellowtail subdivision in the areas of Reno Creek South of Soap Creek, Lodge Grass, Wyola, and Wyoming Monday due to the fire.
Lodge Grass school delayed the start of school Tuesday, and the Benteen bus route was canceled.
