Some people may have noticed activity on the Woods Creek Fire in the Big Belt Mountains as it continues to have some burning in the interior.

The Haystack Fire near Boulder continues to burn and is putting a lot of smoke in the air around Helena.

The Trail Creek and Alder Creek fires are slowly growing and producing smoke.

There is a new fire, the Crown Mountain fire southwest of Augusta.

In the Bob Marshall Wilderness, the Spire Fire started on Monday grew over 100 acres.
