who flew over the area. Bob Ster
mitz said that “It looks better this
morning than at any other time.”
The fire devastated from 800 to
1,800 acres yesterday.
Willow Mountain is east of
Mann Gulch, where the lightning
blaze started Friday. The fire has
moved four miles east of where
the Missouri River winds pictur
esquely through mountain peaks.
The forest service has not sent
any of its parachuting fire-fight
ers to the blaze since Friday—
when the smoke-jumping program
suffered its worst tragedy in its
10-year history.
Fifteen smoke-jumpers, mostly
college students, were trapped by
fire when the wind shifted sud
denly after they were safe on the
ground from nearby Canyon Ferry
ranger station.
A helicopter brought the char
red bodies to a Helena morgue
where fellow firefighters identi
fied them.
