October 13, 2023 Pile Burn Update
Lolo National Forest Prescribed Fire Operations
Publication Type: Announcement 10/15/2023
Pile burning is continuing on the Ninemile Ranger District 2 miles south of the district office. Smoke may be visible from the Ninemile Valley and Interstate 90.
Pile burning reduce the amount of fuels that are available to burn, lowering a wildfire’s intensity and reducing risks to firefighters and communities.
This year, approximately 425 acres of pile burning has been conducted on the Lolo National Forest. Reducing hazardous fuels contributes to the implementation of the Wildfire Crisis Strategy.
