November 3, 2023 Pile Burning Update
Lolo National Forest Prescribed Fire Operations
Publication Type: Announcement 11/05/2023
Pile burning will continue across several districts today on the Lolo National Forest. Pile burning helps reduce the amount of fuels that are available to burn, lowering a wildfire’s intensity and reducing risks to firefighters and communities.
Missoula Ranger District: Firefighters will be burning 30 acres of piles by hand approximately 2 miles up the Marshall Canyon adjacent to the 20-acre unit on the west side of the upper Marshall Creek drainage. Smoke may be visible from I-90 along East Missoula and Bonner.
Ninemile Ranger District: The Ninemile District plans to pile burn, 5 miles northwest of the District Office, between Kennedy Creek and Butler Creek. Smoke may be visible from Alberton and Interstate 90.
Superior Ranger District: Firefighters will initiate up to 7 acres of pile burning operations on two different units located 12 miles southwest of Superior and 3 miles northeast of Superior. Smoke may be visible from Superior and I-90.
