Wildfire report places residents on notice

A wildfire eight miles south of Clark Fork prompted officials to place some residents near the city on “ready status,” warning them to get ready for possible evacuation. Reported Friday evening, the Buckskin 2 Fire has burned an estimated 150 acres and is 0% contained. There are 80 personnel assigned to the fire, with three engines and three hand crews on scene. Additional fire resources have been ordered, Kary Maddox, a U.S. Forest Service pubic information officer, said Saturday.
