PSA:
Firefighting resources across Central Montana are currently being heavily utilized and are nearing exhaustion due to multiple active wildfires.

‼ If our local resources become depleted and a wildfire ignites in Cascade County, there is no guarantee that mutual aid will be available to assist.

To protect your family, yourself, and our community:
DO NOT BURN IN CASCADE COUNTY. BURNING IS PROHIBITED.

The risk is simply too great under current conditions.
We appreciate your cooperation and diligence in helping keep Cascade County safe.

When we get these thunderstorms rolling through our area, be on the lookout for smoke afterwords and call 911 if you see something.
