Wildfire Torches Structures in Denton, Montana

The West Wind Fire burning in Denton, Montana, had destroyed 25 “primary structures” across 10,644 acres as of Saturday, December 4, according to fire officials.

Videos filmed by Denton resident Tom Gregory, who said it was taken on December 1, show the wildfire’s flames tearing through multiple structures and thick smoke decreasing visibility across roadways.

Crews had made “significant progress” containing the blaze and extinguishing hot spots near structures in the town by Saturday, according to InciWeb. Credit: Tom Gregory via Storyful
