Glacier National Park Evacuated as Montana Wildfire Grows

WEST GLACIER, Mont. (AP) -- Hundreds of hikers, campers and park employees were told to leave part of Glacier National Park on Thursday after a wildfire doubled to at least 6,000 acres.
Park officials closed the west entrance and evacuated the Lake McDonald Valley because of a fire two miles from the entrance in the Flathead National Forest, park information officer Punky Moore said.
In central Idaho, flames overran and killed two firefighters who had just rappelled to the ground to clear a helicopter landing zone Wednesday.
``They got caught in a fireball,'' county Coroner Mike Mitchell said. ``It was very quick.''
