['Dennis Bragg']

The Montana DNRC reports only one new, small fire started in the past 24 hours, with just 28 active fires, which is the lowest number in several weeks.
People continue to be the leading cause of wildfire in Montana this season, with 863 human-caused fires.
That includes tours of the new National Museum of Forest Service History, being constructed near the airport.
Retired Forest Service Chief Dale Bosworth says it's a legacy that dates back to the very beginning of the agency, including the 1910 "Big Burn" fires.
"The Forest Service was first here in about 1905, and so it's very good that we're able to be the home for this center.
