Heinrude Community, MT - Thursday, August 31, 2023 @ 09:00 a.m.
Flathead County Sheriff Brian Heino in coordination with Southwest Area Incident Management Team 1 and the Flathead National Forest, has deemed that the imminent risk of danger to life and properties of the Heinrude Community in the vicinity of the Tin Soldier Complex has diminished at this time.
The Evacuation Order issued on August 1, 2023, for all properties have been rescinded and will be effective at 09:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 31, 2023.
A forest area closure is still in place, and residents will need to contact the Hungry Horse Ranger Station at (406) 387-3800 to make arrangements to access their properties. A Pre-Evacuation Warning or Evacuation Order may need to be reissued if the risk of danger to life and property should again warrant such action.
