Due to recent moisture, wildland fire officials with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Division of Fire have lowered the fire danger within the Flathead Indian Reservation to moderate.

Debris burning with a permit is open until the end of June, but fire officials urge all outdoor burners to not burn on windy days. Everyone who burns needs to have water on-scene and a tool suitable for throwing dirt on an escaping fire prior to ignition.

According to Fire Management Specialist C.T. Camel, “Lake, Missoula and Sanders County fire resources have been busy this spring with numerous escaped debris burns. Please be vigilant if you do decide to burn.”
