Montana Fires

Hot, dry August weather has Fergus County cracking down hard on anything that could spark a wildfire.

Maverick Mountain's buildings and equipment survived the Sand Creek Fire, but the resort's only ski lift wasn't so lucky, and that changes everything for the coming season.

Red flag warnings are flying across Montana, and Missoula County just jumped straight to Stage II fire restrictions on BLM lands. No campfires, no open flames, period.

With vehicle safety on the mind, there's a lot to consider before hitting the trails this summer. Maintenance could save more than just your ride.
