Montana's reservations have been hit by a number of fires.

The 1,000-acre Border Fire was considered contained but cleanup work continues today. It is named because it is located on the border of Crow and Northern Cheyenne lands.

Separately, the R Ridge Fire has consumed about 25 acres on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. It started on Monday.

The Fox Creek Fire on the Blackfeet Reservation had consumed 5,000 acres as of Monday.
