Wisdom RD Pile Burning Notification 01-01-2024

Beaverhead-Deerlodge NF Prescribed Fire Operations
Publication Type: Announcement - 01/01/2024 - 10:39

As winter weather sets in, fire and fuels officials on the Wisdom Ranger District of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest continue to implement prescribed fire pile burning projects this week. 
 

Pile burning project areas include:
🔥 Trapper Creek project area (Unit 20) - 10 miles northwest of Melrose
🔥 Wise River administrative/work center
🔥 Wisdom administrative/work center
 

Minimal smoke impacts are anticipated; however, smoke may be visible from Highway 91 and Interstate 15 corridors and the towns of Glendale and Melrose. Hand piles should consume quickly, and smoke will be dispersed by transport winds moving through the areas. 
 

For updates or more information, contact the Wisdom Ranger District at (406) 689-3243.
