Montana Wildfire Update For August 03, 2021

Listen • 1:38 Montana fire officials estimate approximately 38 residences have been lost to fires this year, and roughly 600 people are displaced from their homes due to evacuation orders on nine fires. That’s according to a readout from a wildfire briefing Gov. Greg Gianforte received Tuesday. That readout says nearly a half million acres in Montana have burned. A little more than half of that total happened over the last week from new fire starts and growth from existing fires. Of the 24 large fires in Montana, the state’s top priority is the 1,400-acre Boulder 2700 Fire, which is 0% contained. There are 84 soldiers from the Montana National Guard helping to fight fires in the state. By this weekend, the state is expecting to have 200 soldiers helping with aviation, security, hand crews and other fire support.

Unusually early fire season has been hard on firefighting resources

Unusually early fire season has been hard on firefighting resources By: John Riley and last updated 2021-08-02 21:56:02-04 HELENA — The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) says the unusually early fire season has been rough, with new fires often a daily occurrence. According to the Northern Rockies Coordination Center (NRCC), there have been more than 1,600 wildland fires reported in Montana this year that have burned well over 219,000 acres as of August 2, numbers that continue to grow every day. Battling wildland fires is not an inexpensive endeavor. Air tankers, dozers and boots on the ground all cost money.
