Date: 08/27/15 17:08 Re: Essex, MT Update - Evacuation Ordered Author: milepost1208 Update: Highway 2 now closed. I am also assuming that the railroad is shutdown, too. Amtrak is showing a service disruption for the #7 tonight and Track-a-Train shows the train sitting at Shelby. Here's the latest on the fire: http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4468/. Thoughts and prayers for all the residents of the area and the firefighters, too. There are engines from several Flathead Valley cities stationed at Essex for structure protection at this time. I will update later if I find out more. --Mary in Whitefish, MT--

Hope some of this coming rain makes it that far... Date: 08/27/15 18:16 Re: Essex, MT Update - Evacuation Ordered Author: WAF bbcc Wrote:

Looks grim for Essex Date: 08/27/15 21:12 Re: Essex, MT Update - Evacuation Ordered Author: TCnR Just heard that the hotel has been wrapped in some sort of material to prevent it from catching fire. I've heard of a number of products on the market for the purpose, other methods are to cover the structure with a foam, but that has a limited duration to it.
Hope it works out, something of an understatement. Date: 08/27/15 23:36 Re: Essex, MT Update - Evacuation Ordered Author: mtnwestrail Fire is reported to be very close to the tracks between the Sheep Creek trestle and the snowshed. You can see the glow on the MDT webcam.

The original post had the link directly to the camera. Perhaps it wasn't showing up for you? As noted, it is the one listed as Essex. Paul Birkholz Sheridan, WY Date: 08/28/15 11:33 Re: Essex, MT Update - Evacuation Ordered Author: TCnR Just checked out the Roadcam, very interesting. Found that the camera icon in the left margin must be selected before the camera icons show up on the map. Suppose it saves on BW somehow.
The image is very similar to the (Far) Northern California area last year when fires in the National Forest area to the west burned for quite some time. Everything I bought in town that day smelled like an wood barbecue. |
