Despite recent rain and cooler temperatures that provided an opportunity for local fire fighters to make solid progress containing and controlling most fires in west central Montana, wildland fire agencies continue to respond to human-caused fires, and caution the public that the recent cool weather only provided short-term relief. Today, fire officials lowered the fire danger only slightly: from EXTREME to VERY HIGH. The fire danger rating is largely determined by current and expected weather conditions and how those conditions affect the expected intensity of fires that start.
