Last Saturday, August 13, The Lolo Hotshot crew suffered the loss of one of its firefighters when 26-year-old Justin Beebe died while combating the Strawberry Fire in Nevada.
Missoula County Attorney Kirsten Pabst announced that Stage One fire restrictions were imminent after the first of August, but they never happened, here's why...
With intense growth of the Roaring Lion Fire on Tuesday, Ravalli County Undersheriff Steve Holton says new restrictions are in place for homes in the Stage Two Evacuation area closest to the fire.
With 500 over people evacuated, one man dead and 14 homes burned, the Roaring Lion Fire shows little signs of stopping anytime soon and has expanded nearly 1,000 acres since Monday.
Things are going well for the firefighters taking on the Observation Point Fire south of Hamilton, but because of the spotty terrain, the fire could burn until fall.
