GREAT FALLS — There is a large plume of smoke that is visible from Great Falls. The photos above - taken from the KRTV Eyecam looking southeast from downtown Great Falls - are from 2:50 p.m. on Monday, August 8, 2022.
At this point, there is no word on the cause of the fire. There are no scheduled/prescribed burns in the area, according to the Montana Burn Permit website.
We have a reporter checking it out and will keep you updated.
(UPDATE) As of 3:20 p.m., all of the smoke appears to have dissipated, as seen in this photo from the eyecam.
There are no reports of any damaged homes or structures, and no injuries have been reported.
A woman posted on Facebook: "Thank you Sand Coulee Volunteer Fire Department and all our amazing neighbors to get horses caught and loaded and keep all our homes and animals safe! Truly a great community that pulls together ❤️ The fire is out and we are safe and all at home."
We have tried to contact Sand Coulee Volunteer Fire Department for details about the fire, but have not yet received a response. We will update you if we get more information.
