The Strawberry Fire was started by a lightning strike on August 25, 2017, approximately 1.5 miles southwest of Swift Dam near Dupuyer, Montana. The fire moved up to the west side of Mount Richmond, one mile from the Swift Reservoir. The Swift Dam Campground was closed along with areas around the fire in Flathead National Forest.

By September 12th, the fire had expanded rapidly to 11,325 acres (46 km) due to heavy winds. The fire burned in Birch Creek, resulting in mandatory evacuations of homes and ranches in an area from Heart Butte to Birch Creek and Birch Creek to Ben English Coulee. The next day, the fire was burning up Strawberry Creek and on a ridge between Cap Mountain and Winter Points. The area around the Cox Creek drainage was closed and structure protection was put in place at Sabido Cabin.
