Forest Fires Sending Even More Smoke Into Missoula And Bitterroot
Smoke tells the story - Western Montana is filling up with area forest fire smoke. Air quality has been getting worse on a daily basis as the fires continue to grow and are joined by new lightning-caused blazes. Stage 2 fire restrictions (campfires prohibited) are becoming the norm.
In Idaho, the Snake River Complex is now over 102,000 acres and is near other large blazes in western Idaho and eastern Washington. The Dixie-Jumbo Fires are over 24,000 acres 60 miles west of the Bitterroot Valley, south of Grangeville, Idaho. At Lolo Pass, the thousand-acre Granite Pass Complex has caused closure of Lolo Pass Hot Springs and speed restrictions on US Highway 12 going over the pass into Idaho. About 30 miles north of Orofino, Idaho, the Cougar Rock Fire is over 3,360 acres in size.
