Crews battle 2 Blaine County fires
Firefighting crews leaped on wildfires that kicked up nearby on Thursday and Sunday during a stretch of hot, dry weather, battling Blaine County’s first major blazes in a summer of heightened fire danger. Thursday’s Martin Fire grew quickly after being discovered in its namesake canyon roughly 2 miles east of Bellevue around 5:30 p.m. It prompted a pre-evacuation order for residents of nearby Slaughterhouse Canyon and grew to 1,065 acres before it was contained Friday evening.
