</a> <br></br>"Underneath Montana Skies" was based on the Mann Gultch Fire near Helena Montana in 1949. I learned about this sad tale in a United States Forest Service Basic 32 fire training class in 1979. I wrote the song however in 1995 when the Black Irish Band took it's first tour of Montana. We stopped in at the Smokejumper base museum and I picked up a booklet on the Mann Gulch Fire. Later that day…

</a><br />"Underneath Montana Skies" was based on the Mann Gultch Fire near Helena Montana in 1949. I learned about this sad tale in a United States Forest Service Basic 32 fire training class in 1979. I wrote the song however in 1995 when the Black Irish Band took it's first tour of Montana. We stopped in at the Smokejumper base museum and I picked up a booklet on the Mann Gulch Fire. Later that day we drove near Gates of the Mountain near Helena, and the song started coming to me.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that in the song I treated all 13 firefighters, that were lost in the fire, as smokejumpers. In truth one firefighter, Harrison, was a forest guard. He was once however a smokejumper. The song first appeared on the bands "Hooligans United" CD, and was released in 1996.<br />
<br />
In 1997 a friend gave me a copy of Norman Maclean's book "Young Men & Fire". I found it very interesting at the time and I also heard about James Keelaghan's great song "Cold Missouri Waters". Our stories are however from two different points of view. Mine is a general view of the fire as known to me as a firefighter. Keelaghan's story is based on Wag Dodge and the book, "Young Men & Fire".<br />
<br />
Both songs are on our bands new 17 CD Album release featuring Michael<br />
Martin Murphey titled, "Into the Fire".
