"The Bear Creek wildfire burning southwest of Dillon started as a cub on Tuesday and quickly grew into a beast.

In just 24 hours, the fire quickly spread to more than 1,500 acres. As of Wednesday evening, it had grown to about 5,000 acres, according to a Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forest update.
It’s located in a very remote part of the Beaverhead National Forest about 20 miles west of Clark Canyon reservoir.
