HYALITE CANYON — Fire crews quickly brought a small structure fire under control Friday evening at the Hyalite Youth Camp in the Custer Gallatin National Forest.

The Hyalite Fire District was dispatched at about 5 PM on Sept. 5 after reports of smoke from a utility building at the camp, authorities said. The department responded as mutual aid due to the fire’s location on federal land.
