MISSOULA — Evacuation orders remain in effect Tuesday for the Skillet Fire burning in the Flathead National Forest.
The evacuation order is for the Good Creek and Alder Creek area. You can find more evacuation information here.
According to the U.S. Forest Service, the fire has burned 2,494 acres and is 0% contained. However, that number remains the same as Monday due to the lack of an infrared mapping flight.

A community meeting will be held Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. to provide information on the fire.
WHERE: Olney Fire Department, 11 Olney Loop Rd.
WHEN: Tuesday, August 4, at 6:00 p.m.
