Superior Ranger District:
Pending conditions, prescribed fire operations will take place on the Superior Ranger District to help reduce hazardous fuels and restore wildlife habitat.
The 13-acre prescribed fire burn is located approximately 4 miles northeast of the community of Henderson. Smoke may be visible from St. Regis or Cabin City for the duration of the burn. Firefighters and engines will implement the prescribed burn, patrol, and monitor the burning over the next few days.
All prescribed fires will be implemented in compliance with Montana air quality standards and coordinated with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and the appropriate county health departments to reduce the impacts of smoke to neighbors, cooperators, and surrounding communities. Smoke may settle in valley bottoms and drainages overnight, but it is expected to dissipate within a few days.
