KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Updating the wildfire situation now, much welcome rain is falling in the West and is forecast to continue through Labor Day. While the rain may have come, fires still burn in Montana, though. CNN's Rusty Dornin is live in Hamilton. Hi, Rusty.</s>RUSTY DORNIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Kyra, as you said, the rains have come to Montana but it's really barely enough to wet any firefighter's appetite. There were rains yesterday afternoon through last night accompanied by some lightning. Now, lightning was what started a lot of this mess to begin with, but we understand so far there have not been any reports of new fires in Montana or throughout the west. Now, the rain, while it is not going to be an end to this, to these fires, it will help, as one firefighter said, tame the beast. It allows firefighters to get in and get a little closer to the fires, get closer to the lines, dig the lines, make better fire breaks, mop up in areas that they weren't able to get close to before because of the low humidity and the high winds. Now, we are in the Ravalli County Fairgrounds right now, which is the Skalkahoe fire camp. There are hundreds of firefighters here and they're just getting ready this morning to getting their trucks ready and getting ready to go out on the lines. The sad part of all of this is that this is the weekend that the county was supposed to have their county fair. A lot of the businesses in this area have been closed. A lot of the tourist attractions, you know, the canoeing, fishing, that sort of thing, because a lot of the national forest is closed off to the public so people can't get in there. A lot of money is being lost here from these fires. People are just hoping that the rains, while it may not end this week, that they'll be followed by a lot more -- Kyra.</s>PHILLIPS: All right, Rusty Dornin live in Hamilton, Montana, thank you.
