Jan and Bill have been living in the middle of the fires

for the past 4 days. Hosing the roof of the house morning and

night. Jan said most of the forest has burned - over 44 thousand

acres as of yesterday. She sent the kids to stay with relatives

in Billings on Saturday. It's been a bad one.

Western Montana is sure having a time of it with all these fires!  But I just learned that a HUGE fire is burning at Ft Howes...actually burnt up two of the forest service buildings..I'm assuming it's the building right across the road  from Jan Steven's ranch---(the Steven's have been managing the Ft Howes ride for the past few years...)  Has anyone heard anything from Jan???
