Pile burning is continuing on the Ninemile Ranger District 2 miles south of the district office. Smoke may be visible from the Ninemile Valley and Interstate 90.
Pile burning reduce the amount of fuels that are available to burn, lowering a wildfire’s intensity and reducing risks to firefighters and communities.
This year, approximately 425 acres of pile burning has been conducted on the Lolo National Forest. Reducing hazardous fuels contributes to the implementation of the Wildfire Crisis Strategy.
