Officials with the Helena Lewis and Clark National Forest are asking for the public’s help in identifying how the Yogo Fire got started.
The Yogo Fire began Oct. 3 in the Judith Musselshell Ranger District in the Little Belt Mountains and burned more than eight square miles of timber and grasses. The fire was considered 100 percent contained as of Oct. 22.
The Forest Service’s fire investigation unit is looking for people who may have visited the Cabin Mountain, Tepee Butte or Yogo Peak area, especially anyone that was on the ridge between Cabin Mountain and Prospect Ridge between the end of September and October 3. The Service is interested in folks who may have seen the fire or someone parked or hunting on the ridge or in the general areas of the fire.
Investigators are asking anyone with a tip on the Yogo Fire to contact the Helena Supervisor’s office of the Helena Lewis and Clark National Forest at 406-449-5201 Monday through Friday 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.
