The blaze is now burning nearly 5,000 acres with containment growing to 10% as of Friday, Aug. 25, 2023.
Fire managers note the increased acreage "is due to the availability of more accurate data" following an infrared flight.
Additional resources arrived at the East Fork Fire on Thursday, including hot shot crews and heavy equipment.
Some areas remain under a pre-evacuation warning. Visit the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office and Flathead County Sheriff’s Office Facebook pages for updated information.
