Division 10 Commander Jon Wells was contacted by a representative of the National Park Service on 12 August requesting assistance following a boating accident with fatalities on the Yellowtail Reservoir in Big Horn Canyon near Fort Smith, MT. A large multi-engine fast boat had hit the canyon wall and exploded.
