A small wildfire near the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Dunn Creek Flats Campground never had a chance to get large Monday evening.
Fast responding units from the Libby Volunteer Fire Department, U.S. Forest Service and state Department of Natural Resources had the blaze under control before west winds could drive it into the crowns of pine trees and possibly across the highway onto private timberlands.
The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was on hand to direct traffic.
