Crews mop up Park Lake fire

The Park Lake Campground and Picnic Area 5 miles west of Clancy reopened to the public on Monday as firefighters continued to mop-up a small wildfire that ignited near Park Lake on July 16.

According to Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest Public Affairs Officer Chiara Cipriano, firefighters managed to limit the Park Lake fire to about 3–5 acres.

“The helicopters, there’s four of them working together … are holding it steady at that 3–5 [acre] range,” she said in a call Friday evening.
