BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Fires have forced mass evacuations in Montana. Hundreds of people in the town of Pinesdale have been ordered out and away from their homes. More now on the situation there from Jennifer Huntley (ph). She's with our affiliate KECI.</s>JENNIFER HUNTLEY, KECI REPORTER (voice-over): Tonya Bloom watches the Blodgett fire. As the winds pick up, Bloom is prevented from checking in on her home near where the fire is burning.</s>TONYA BLOOM, RESIDENT: Anytime it gets this windy I get worried because I think they're doing a good job of containing it, but I think all bets are off when the wind comes up.</s>HUNTLEY: But Tonya and her husband are considered lucky. Evacuated since Tuesday, they've had a place to stay with friends. For Kay Somerlot, evacuated just last night, a different story. She was separated from her two young children. Today, she stops by the Red Cross shelter to try and find a way to get the family back together.</s>KAY SOMERLOT, RESIDENT: I spoke to my 5-year-old daughter today and she said, Mommy, I miss you, you know, I want to see you. And I know she doesn't know what's going on.</s>HUNTLEY: The Coppage family watches their home today. With hotels in Hamilton full, tonight they head to Missoula to stay.</s>JACKIE COPPAGE, RESIDENT: Turned on sprinklers all night, which seems rather, you know, a futile effort against something this large.</s>HUNTLEY: Different families all faced with the same dilemma: finding a place to call home, and hoping their own homes are still there when they get back.</s>HEMMER: Again, Jennifer Huntley out of Missoula, Montana, a station there, KECI.
