RED LODGE - The fire is burning so close to Red Lodge Mountain so crews are trying out some unusual fire equipment.
irefighters are borrowing all of the resort's snow making machines to cover structures and land with as much water as they can. Crews say the machines can pump out more than 6,000 gallons of water an hour, which is a big help.
"They're working great. They're putting out a lot of water. There's huge man made lake up at the top of the ski hill that they use those snow machines in the winter anyway," said DNRC's Chris Davis.
Crews have used at least a dozen snow making machines non-stop since the fire started Saturday.
