Wildfire, fire management and air quality news for western Montana and the Northern Rockies.

Fire season is over...for now

Sally Mauk

Western Montana's fire danger is back to a "low" rating, there's been plenty of rain recently - even some high-elevation snow in western Montana. The 2013 fire season is essentially behind us.
       In tonight's feature interview with Edward O'Brien, DNRC's Southwest Land Office Fire Prevention

Coordinator, Cindy Super, recaps this year's fire season which was quite active in west-central Montana where well over 11-thousand acres burned.

Edward O’Brien first landed at Montana Public Radio three decades ago as a news intern while attending the UM School of Journalism. He covers a wide range of stories from around the state.
