Group looks to form Wildfire Advisory Council
Ravalli Republic (Hamilton, MT)
Feb. 19 A nonprofit organization focused on educating folks in the
Bitterroot Valley about the dangers of wildfire is looking to take its efforts one step further.
Considering that
Ravalli County has been identified as having the greatest risk of severe wildfire in the state, with six of its communities in the top 10, the timing couldn t be better.
The Fire in the Root program recently applied for a Montana Forest Action Plan grant to transition its awareness campaign to a formal
Wildfire Advisory Council. The council would be made up of community ambassadors.
