2024 Custer Gallatin National Forest Prescribed Fire Program
Publication Type: Announcement - 10/03/2024 - 09:19
Bozeman Ranger District fire managers are postponing ignitions on planned burns in Hyalite Canyon near Langohr campground, south of Bozeman, Montana. As well as planned burns in the South Brackett Creek and Fairy Lake areas of the North Bridgers. Associated closures for the burn areas are lifted.
Fire managers remain in constant coordination with weather forecasters and smoke specialists leading up to and during a prescribed burn.
At this time, forecasted weather conditions (specifically potential high winds and low relative humidity) are no longer providing favorable conditions to conduct prescribed fire operations. Although conditions could be favorable today, conditions don’t appear favorable into Friday and over the weekend which could lead to challenges with holding and mop up operations.
The Bozeman Ranger District will continue to look for favorable burning conditions in the near future and new notifications will occur at that time.
