2024 Custer Gallatin National Forest Prescribed Fire Program
Publication Type: News - 10/18/2024 - 11:02

October 21, 2024 Update: Pile burning activities in the Crazy Mountains are postponed due to drier than expected conditions and high winds.

Depending on weather conditions, pile burning activities may begin as soon as October 21st in the northwestern Crazy Mountains, specifically in the Smith Creek and Sunlight Road areas. The Crazy Mountains are located north of Livingston, MT. The piles to be burned are part of the Smith Shields Forest Health project and are a result of thinning to improve forest health and reduce fuels to moderate fire intensity along key corridors. Smoke and flames may be visible, please do not report.
