The Boundary Fire was a wildfire in Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. First reported in the evening of August 23, 2018, the fire was located slightly more than a mile west of Waterton Lake in the Boundary Creek Valley near Campbell Mountain. The fire straddles the international border but did not cross into Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada. After it was detected on August 23, the fire quickly grew to more than 1,500 acres (610 ha) over the next two days but cooler and wetter weather conditions prevented significant growth after that. Firefighters were deployed to the Goat Haunt region to install sprinklers and be prepared for structure protection. By September 9, the fire was reported as being 2,896 acres (1,172 ha) and only 12 percent contained.
