BILLINGS â Starting 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, burning in Yellowstone County will be restricted until fire conditions improve later in the season. Stage 1 fire restrictions were voted into effect by the Yellowstone County commission Tuesday. This is a correct move to do at this particular time, especially with the number of fires that are starting earlier this season, the weather conditions and all of the other factors that we look at when entering stage one, said KC Williams, Yellowstone County disaster and emergency services director.

AMERICAN FALLS – Multiple agencies are battling a wildfire near Amerian Falls.
Chris Berger, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, tells EastIdahoNews.com firefighters are working to contain the 400-acre fire, which began around 3:30 Monday afternoon about three miles south of Amerian Falls.
“It’s burning very actively in grass, brush and juniper. The reason it’s burning so actively is because there is a steady south-southwest wind on it with gusts approaching 20 miles an hour,” Berger says.
The cause has not yet been determined and no one has been killed or injured, but there is an evacuation order in effect for areas in close proximity to the fire. The Power County Sheriff’s Office reports deputies, search and rescue and the Highway District are evacuating the areas of Ferry Hallow, Sunbeam Road, Hornbacher Road, Mayer Road, Garden Road and Cold Creek.
