A 174-acre wildfire has been confirmed in the Gravelly Mountain Range. The Sunrise Fire is located south of Ennis, on the Madison District of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest and private land. The cause has not been determined. Top priority for firefighters is to secure the fire edge on private land and are monitoring the Sunrise Fire's north and east edge today. Fire crews are also assessing for any fence damage along the BDNF Forest and private land boundary. The southwest edge of the fire was the primary source of heat yesterday, so crews are also working to identify and break up hotspots as they secure the west flank of this fire.
