Lolo National Forest Prescribed Fire Operations
Publication Type: Announcement - 04/26/2024 - 08:25

🙏A big thank you to our all partners (listed below) who helped and supported the Lolo National Forest accomplish over 600 acres of prescribed fire operations this week!

  • Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation
  • Bureau of Land Management
  • Montana DNRC
  • Missoula Rural Fire Department
  • Frenchtown Rural Fire Department
  • Missoula Smokejumpers, Lolo Hotshots,  and Missoula Helitack

🔥 Without our partners, we would not be able to be as effective in using prescribed fire as a management tool to remove hazardous fuels, create a fire-adapted ecosystem, and restore wildlife habitat, mimicking the natural role of fire on the landscape.

💦 Ignitions are not planned for the next couple days due to forecasted weather. We will post again if conditions become favorable for new ignitions. Remember to go to https://inciweb.wildfire.gov for the most up to date fire information.
