Deep Creek Fire Update
9-3-2022
On Wednesday, August 31 a new fire was reported south of Great Falls, MT in the northwest corner of the Little Belt Mountains. Fire personnel have been successful at obtaining 60% containment on the #DeepCreekFire. The fire is still estimated to be 73 acres. Today fire personnel will continue to strengthen the control line on the West flank and seek opportunities to safely build line using existing features and natural barriers where appropriate. Red flag conditions are in effect until noon tomorrow due to high temperatures and low Relative Humidity (RH) levels.
An area closure is in place to help protect fire personnel and the public. The area closure includes Deep Creek Trail #309, Temple Gulch Trail #308, Trail #311, and Trail #303. The closure will be in effect until September 30, unless rescinded earlier.
