Big Creek fire from Paradise Valley, Montana-
Here is a photo of the Big Creek forest fire burning in the Gallatin Range on the west side of the Paradise Valley.
The photo was taken by Alan Sachanowski about 3 pm on July 30. By 4 pm the flames were licking at the ridgetop and strong winds blowing it to the north, toward Trail Creek (homes there).
