A Red Lodge firefighter was severely injured fighting the Harris Fire Friday night near Joliet.
Red Lodge Fire Rescue said in a Facebook post that a two-person engine crew was fighting the fire in the area of Farewell Road and Bellion Creek when the wind shifted and fire overtook the crew.
He was taken to a hospital by ambulance then flown to Salt Lake City for treatment. Itâs times like these that we emphasize the strength of our organization and the Red Lodge community. We are grateful for our firefighters who routinely answer the call to protect our homes and property. This is a stark reminder of how dangerous this job can be, Red Lodge firefighters wrote on Facebook.
