Firefighters are concerned that the Robertson Draw Fire burning south of Red Lodge could break its current perimeter in some areas if dry weather and wind continues, and they're planning to stick around until the weather turns.
The Custer Gallatin National Forest said on Thursday morning that the northwest side of Mount Maurice is of particular concern because of difficult terrain that prevents firefighters from safely building containment lines in some areas.
The fire has been at 85 percent containment for several days and is currently listed at 29,841 acres,
