Lolo National Forest Prescribed Fire Operations
Publication Type: Announcement - 05/08/2024 - 08:58

The Lolo National Forest will continue to conduct prescribed fire operations today, as weather and fuels conditions allow.

Plains/Thompson Falls Ranger District: 

Firefighters plan to conduct up to 20 acres of hand pile burning created from hazardous tree removal in campgrounds.  The pile burn is located near the Fishtrap and Dry Creek area. Smoke may be visible from Thompson Falls. 

Seeley Ranger District:

The Seeley Ranger District will continue prescribed fire operations (pile burning) to reduce hazardous fuels from previous vegetation management operations.  Prescribed fire operations will take place 4 miles northwest of Seeley.  Smoke may be visible from Highway 83 and Seeley Lake.

Burning piles reduces hazardous fuels and contributes to the implementation of the Wildfire Crisis Strategy.
