Friday Night Was Worst Air Quality Yet In Bitterroot As the Storm Creek Fire jumped in size about 1,000 acres Friday, the resulting smoke flowed into the middle of the Bitterroot Valley, causing the Hamilton Air Monitor to dip down into the Unhealthy level for most of the night until early Saturday morning, July 24. Then, the levels quickly moved back into the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups and Moderate. The Storm Creek Fire is the main source of wildfire smoke this week and is now estimated at 6,183 acres, according to Saturday s report from the Bitterroot National Forest. The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness fire is in Idaho about 16 miles due west of Victor (about 3 miles from the Montana-Idaho state line.) It has been growing all week in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Foreset, with prevailing winds sending huge amounts of smoke into the Bitterroot, especially in the Victor area, both Thursday and Friday nights.
