The various wildfires that have been ravaging the Bob Marshall Wilderness since at least August 16th, when they were first spotted, are largely under control. Firefighters and officials say, however, that the fires will continue burning for weeks, because the rough and dangerous terrain makes it impossible to contain them adequately. Meanwhile, the smoke coming out of the Bob Marshall Wilderness region is slowly creeping into the Helena Valley. No information has been released on the causes.
