Missoula County Sheriff's deputies are stretched to the limits spreading out over the county to issue evacuation warnings from the Lolo area all the way to Seeley Lake.
The Lolo Peak Fire is just one of many small blazes that are burning around western Montana, dropping the Missoula valley's official air quality from 'Good' to 'Moderate'.
Eight year-old Carli Miller of Lolo was killed on Sunday in a two vehicle collision on U.S. Highway 12 near Lolo. Five others were injured in both vehicles.
