Superior Ranger District: Pending conditions, prescribed fire operations will take place on the Superior Ranger District to help reduce hazardous fuels and improve habitat for big game winter range.
The 25-acre prescribed fire is located approximately 8 miles east of Superior in the North Fork of Second Creek. Smoke may be visible from Superior and Interstate 90 for the duration of the burn. Firefighters and engines will implement the prescribed burn, patrol, and monitor the burning over the next few days.
All prescribed fires 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 to neighbors, cooperators, and surrounding communities. Smoke may settle in valley bottoms and drainages overnight, but it is expected to dissipate within a few days.
