MISSOULA â Crews continue to make progress on the Brewster Fire, located four miles up Brewster Creek, east of Rock Creek
in the Missoula Ranger District. The fire is now surrounded by hand and saw line.
Over the weekend, the fire grew slightly to 150 acres due to a small-scale burning operation that was used to strengthen and secure containment line on the south flank of the fire, and on July 12 the acreage was adjusted to 156 acres due to more accurate mapping. As of Monday morning, thanks to progress with fire suppression efforts, the Brewster fire is now 40% contained and will transition from a Type 3 incident to a Type 4 incident.
