As Montana fires spread, agencies prepare resources to respond

As Montana fires spread, agencies prepare resources to respond and last updated 2021-07-12 20:57:28-04 HELENA — As fires blew up around Montana over the weekend, leaders say it is a reminder of why it’s so important to be ready to respond. “Across the entire Northern Rockies, we’ve seen an increase in fire activity,” said Wyatt Frampton, with the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation’s Fire Protection Bureau. “With the conditions forecast to be hot and dry for the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to need to share and coordinate amongst ourselves and partners for the duration of the summer.”

Montana Wildfire Update For July 12, 2021

The most active of three wildfires burning in southeast Montana’s Yellowstone and Musselshell counties doubled in size over the weekend.  A Monday morning post to Inciweb reports the Peterson fire now spans roughly 4,400 acres following the weekend’s dry, windy weather and 90-degree temperatures. Fire crews are working on securing the southeast side of the Peterson fire and crews are working on the ground while aircraft assist. Inciweb says the Peterson fire was 0 percent contained as of Monday afternoon, while the two other fires in the MY Complex were each roughly 50 percent contained. An evacuation notice is still in effect for Queens Point Road in Musselshell County, but the county lifted evacuation notices for Harvey Road, Melstone-Custer Road and Alkali Creek Road Monday.
