Remembering those who fought the Sundance Fire of 1967

Sundance Mountain is the site of a horrific lightning caused wildfire that ignited in August 1967, and claimed two lives: Luther Rodarte of Santa Maria, Calif., and Lee Collins of Thompson Falls, Mont. Both men perished in the blaze of The Sundance on Sept. 1, 1967.
