POLSON – There’s some good news report from crews battling the largest wildfire burning in Western Montana.

The lightning-sparked wildfire is burning in grass and timber along a steep, rocky, rugged terrain but no private properties are threatened.

Meanwhile, the Nenemay Road, FB-1000 and FB-4000 Road remain closed to the public.

There are 170 personnel assigned to battle the Moss Ranch fire.
