Fire Crews Getting Help Battling Buffalo Pasture Fire

A blaze burning on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana, has grown very little, and more help is on the way to try to put it out.

The Buffalo Pasture has burned approximately 328 acres.

Increased humidity and lower temperatures over the past few days have helped slow the growth of the fire.

A spokesperson for the Bureau of Indian Affairs Branch of Wildland Fire Management says crews might be able to enter the bottom of the Little Bull Elk Canyon, and help has arrived from Oregon, along with a hotshot crew from northern California.

More help could arrive soon as students are completing rookie school and will graduate into firefighters.

On the other side of the Bighorn River, is the Crooked Creek fire, which is in the Pryer Mountains, about 25 miles east-southeast of Bridger, Montana.

It is a little bit south of the reservation border and has burned about 5,100 acres, since it was discovered back on Tuesday.
