Looks like air attack, lead plane, 2 MD-87’s, BAE-146 and CH-47 Chinook all on fire this afternoon.
Air tankers coming out of Missoula and Chinook out of Glacier (Kalispell).
Should be some good radio traffic and flying!

DC-10 now on scene doing drops and 2 Super Scoopers also doing drops.
DC-10 from Helena, Scoopers into Missoula.
C-130H doing drops, looks like he is headed for Helena for reload.
This is called the ”Colt Fire” near Colt Lake, approximately 200 acres. Info from Inciweb.

Now at 1,000 acres with 0% containment.
Had a drone flying in area on Friday so had to discontinue air operations for a period of time.
Only saw the Super Scoopers flying today.
Some evacuation orders in place.

My Scanners have been blowing up with the Colt Fire and Bowles Fire so glad I have multiple radios to listen to all the traffic.

It's little complicated the way they have it setup. I had to make a Favorites list to get my local Forest Service channels. They have them listed out of Dillion and I'm in Philipsburg . So I went through and put them all in separate Favorites List. So it depends on which areas you want to listen to
