Lolo National Forest Prescribed Fire Operations
Publication Type: Announcement - 04/22/2024 - 08:49

Pending favorable conditions, firefighters on the Superior Ranger District are planning to conduct prescribed fire operations today to reduce hazardous fuels from previous vegetation management operations and create a fire adapted ecosystem. 

Superior Ranger District: Firefighters will conduct up to 13 acres of prescribed fire operations 8 miles east of Superior in the Second Creek area. Smoke may be visible through the Interstate 90 corridor near Superior. 

Prescribed fire will be implemented in compliance with Montana air quality standards and coordinated with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and the appropriate county health departments to minimize the impacts of smoke.

Firefighters will implement the prescribed burns, patrol, and monitor the burning over the next few days.
