A Community Meeting will be held Sunday, July 18, at 6:00 p.m. at the Ninemile Ranger District, located at 20325 Remount Road in Huson, Montana. The meeting will be recorded and available for viewing after its conclusion on the West Lolo Complex Facebook page and the West Lolo Complex YouTube Channel.
Firefighters have made great progress containing several fires initially assigned to the West Lolo Complex. To date, seven fires have been contained and command of those fires was returned to the local ranger districts for patrol by local personnel. Those fires include: Sunset, Cataract, Deep Creek, Upper Graves Creek, Quinn, Sheep Creek and Thompson. Resources from these contained fires are re-assigned to fires that have been prioritized by their threats to values at risk. Currently, firefighters are focusing their efforts on completing containment lines on Deep Lookout Mountain Fire and securing the fireâs perimeter. As portions of line are contained on the Deep Lookout Mountain Fire resources are re-assigned to the Thorne Creek Fire, especially those involved in scouting, working with heavy equipment, and long-term planning.
