Looking over the Red Eagle fire burn toward the east with Dusty Star on the left, Gunsight, Fusillade (the horn) and you can also see Florence Falls in the middle. I still want to see those Falls up close.
The Red Eagle Fire burned over 34,000 acres in Glacier National Park and on Blackfeet Tribal Land. The fire was first reported at approximately 1 pm on July 28, 2006.
Officials at Glacier National Park report that, pending any new information, the cause of the Red Eagle Fire is undetermined. The investigative team could not rule out the possibility that the fire could have been caused by human activity nor could it rule out the possibility that the fire was caused by natural means such as lightning. There was no conclusive evidence discovered during the investigation to allow a final determination of cause to be made.
Montana’s State Fire Marshal Allen Lorenz wrote in his conclusion, "Human cause cannot be ruled out, although no signs of human activity were found. Lightning cannot be ruled out because of indications of previous lightning strikes that are evident in the area."
