West Mullan Fire on the move due to rolling debris

SUPERIOR - The West Mullan Fire is advancing down a hill very close to Superior. "Essentially the fire is rolling down slope, moving down slope," says Missoula Field Office Group Leader Gregg DeNitto. "We are adding a little bit of fire down below it just to basically straighten out the line." 

DeNitto adds that the fire is getting movement because logs and other woody debris may get loosened and run down slope, advancing the fire.
