[Thursday, August 13th, 2026] The Jefferson County Commissioners voted during an emergency session this morning to implement Stage 1 fire restrictions for private lands in Jefferson County effective at 12:01am on Friday 8/14/26 due to high fire danger and limited fire response resource availability. The resolution prohibits campfires on all private lands in Jefferson County except in the City of Boulder and the Town of Whitehall, where fire restrictions are managed by those jurisdictions. State and federal lands are managed by those agencies and may also have separate fire restrictions. The public should visit https://www.mtfireinfo.org/ to view areas with fire restrictions in Montana. The duration of the restrictions will be dependent upon the long-term fire danger outlook and resource availability. While Jefferson County may receive areas of precipitation through the rest of this week, the forecasted amounts will not be sufficient to substantially impact wildfire danger. Gas BBQs or other simliar appliances that can be turned on and off are exempt from the fire restrictions.

A huge shoutout to Anheuser-Busch and the National Volunteer Fire Council for their generous support of our department!...
