WATCH: South African firefighters bring music to Howe Ridge Fire

Posted

Fighting the Howe Ridge in Glacier National Park really is an international affair.

Specialized wildland firefighters from South Africa have been in Montana for nearly a week now, making their way to Missoula and then to the Flathead.

Through music, the crews said on Twitter they expressed their enjoyment and pride in what they love best — “taming the beast”.

A total of seven crews were deployed from South Africa.
