Lolo National Forest Prescribed Fire Operations
Publication Type: Announcement - 05/05/2025 - 14:06
Fire officials on the Lolo National Forest may implement prescribed fire operations today, as weather and fuels conditions allow.
Plains/Thompson Falls Ranger District: Firefighters plan to conduct up to 78 acres of understory burning on two different units in the Two Short project area, six miles west of Thompson Falls. Smoke may be visible from Thompson Falls.
All prescribed fires are implemented in compliance with Montana air quality standards and coordinated with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and the appropriate county health departments to reduce the impacts of smoke to neighbors, cooperators, and surrounding communities. For additional information on air quality, smoke management, and forecasts, see https://mi.airshedgroup.org/.
