RONAN —The Division of Fire officials want to update the public on the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes fire danger. The Flathead Indian Reservations fire danger has been elevated to High.
Although no restrictions are in place at this time, the extended forecast calls for temperatures in the high 80s and into the 90s, vegetation is beginning to cure. This type of fine, dead fuel is the primary carrier of fire in the wildland, and when fires get established in this fuel type they can quickly spread out of control.
The Division of Fire would like to stress to the public the importance of fire safety while out working and recreating in the outdoors. Make sure all trailer chains are secure and try to do farm/ranch activities in the morning before the heat of the day.
Please do your part to ensure there is “One Less Spark” as a result of your outdoor activities in the heat of the afternoon.
