Even in the middle of winter, Montana is experiencing warm, dry, and windy conditions that increase wildfire risk across the state. Remember, the best time to prepare is before a wildfire occurs and practice prevention habits year round.

Here’s how you can help protect your community and support fire prevention efforts:
✔️ Avoid debris burning until conditions improve. Always check with local authorities first.
✔️ Prevent roadside fires by securing trailer chains, maintaining exhaust systems, and checking tires and brakes.
✔️ Carry basic fire tools like a shovel, water, or extinguisher when using equipment outdoors.
✔️ Fully extinguish campfires and backyard burns. Drown, stir, and feel for heat before leaving.
✔️ Report smoke or unattended fire immediately by calling 9-1-1.
✔️ Prepare your home and family now: create defensible space and sign up for local emergency alerts.

Winter wildfire is unusual, but together we can reduce the risk. Let’s all do our part to keep Montana safe.
