Maybe avoid this approach, but feel free to boat about Ackley Lake again. :)

Check out today’s update. Ackley Lake remains closed to boats so air assistance can do their thing.

UPDATE: Rain storm knocked the fire down. Resources will remain in the area for monitoring.

FYI: there is an active fire in the Little Belt Mountains south of Buffalo, near Twin Sisters. Hobson Fire, Moore Fire, Forest Service and JB County deputies are all working on this event. Ackley Lake has been cleared as air support is expected shortly. We’ll update you as we know more.

Well, June is in the rearview mirror and we're nearly halfway through July, so I suppose an update is in order. Attached are the numbers for June and July came blasting in with a bang!!

Good morning!! Just a note to let you know our office phones are down. Oddly, we can call you, but you can't call us...
So, if you find yourself needing to get in touch, please call our AMAZING friends at Central Montana Dispatch, 406-535-1800 and they'll get in touch with us.

As always, in an EMERGENCY dial 911!

Our thoughts, prayers and grieving hearts are with the family and friends of retired Fergus County Sheriff Troy Eades. A tremendous advocate and ally, gone far too soon! His dedication, especially to Montana Special Olympics, is inspirational! We'll do our best to carry the torch from here. May his soul be at rest and his loved ones find comfort in the memories made with him.
